In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/9p: fix uninit-value in p9_client_rpc()

Syzbot with the help of KMSAN reported the following error:

If p9_check_errors() fails early in p9_client_rpc(), req->rc.tag
will not be properly initialized. However, trace_9p_client_res()
ends up trying to print it out anyway before p9_client_rpc()
finishes.

Fix this issue by assigning default values to p9_fcall fields
such as ‘tag’ and (just in case KMSAN unearths something new) ‘id’
during the tag allocation stage.
