Subject: Re: [PATCH] FS, NET: Fix KMSAN uninit-value in vfs_write

Hello Ivan,

besides the fact that we would read some uninitialized value the outcome 
of the original implementation would have been an error and a 
termination of the copy process too. Maybe throwing a different error 
number.

But it is really interesting to see what KMSAN is able to detect these 
days! Many thanks for the finding and your effort to contribute this fix!

Best regards,
Oliver
