This doesn't check how many bytes the simple_write_to_buffer() writes to the buffer. The only thing that we know is that the first byte is initialized and the last byte of the buffer is set to NUL. However the middle bytes could be uninitialized.

There is no need to use simple_write_to_buffer(). This code does not support partial writes but instead passes "pos = 0" as the starting offset regardless of what the user passed as "*ppos". Just use the copy_from_user() function and initialize the whole buffer.

[1/1] ASoC: SOF: ipc3-dtrace: uninitialized data in dfsentry_trace_filter_write() commit: 469e2f28c2cbee2430058c1c9bb6d1675d7195fb

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.

Thanks, Mark
