In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: init flags_valid before calling vfs_fileattr_get syzbot reported a uninit-value bug in [1]. Similar to the "*get" context where the kernel's internal file_kattr structure is initialized before calling vfs_fileattr_get(), we should use the same mechanism when using fa. [1] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in fuse_fileattr_get+0xeb4/0x1450 fs/fuse/ioctl.c:517 fuse_fileattr_get+0xeb4/0x1450 fs/fuse/ioctl.c:517 vfs_fileattr_get fs/file_attr.c:94 [inline] __do_sys_file_getattr fs/file_attr.c:416 [inline] Local variable fa.i created at: __do_sys_file_getattr fs/file_attr.c:380 [inline] __se_sys_file_getattr+0x8c/0xbd0 fs/file_attr.c:372
