Uninit was stored to memory at: ea_put fs/jfs/xattr.c:639 [inline] ... Local variable ea_buf created at: __jfs_setxattr+0x5d/0x1ae0 fs/jfs/xattr.c:662 __jfs_xattr_set+0xe6/0x1f0 fs/jfs/xattr.c:934 ===================================================== The reason is ea_buf->new_ea is not initialized properly.
