[PATCH] fs: init flags_valid before calling vfs_fileattr_get
Posted by Edward Adam Davis 2 days, 15 hours ago
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.
