This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled of: Fix missing memory initialization on FDT unflattening to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.10. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From f5ac8afa1e060c33dd746ec4cc0418240996266f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org> Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:24:17 +0100 Subject: of: Fix missing memory initialization on FDT unflattening commit 0640332e073be9207f0784df43595c0c39716e42 upstream. Any calls to dt_alloc() need to be zeroed. This is a temporary fix, but the allocation function itself needs to zero memory before returning it. This is a follow up to patch 9e4012752, "of: fdt: fix memory initialization for expanded DT" which fixed one call site but missed another.
