Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/mempolicy: fix uninit-value in mpol_rebind_policy()<br />
<br />
mpol_set_nodemask()(mm/mempolicy.c) does not set up nodemask when<br />
pol->mode is MPOL_LOCAL. Check pol->mode before access<br />
pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy()(mm/mempolicy.c).<br />

KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_task (2)<br />
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=d6eb90f952c2a5de9ea718a1b873c55cb13b59dc<br />
<br />
This patch seems to fix below bug too.<br />
KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_mm (2)<br />
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f2fecd0d7013f54ec4162f60743a2b28df40926b<br />
<br />
The uninit-value is pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy().<br />
When syzkaller reproducer runs to the beginning of mpol_new(),<br />
<br />
mpol_new() mm/mempolicy.c<br />
do_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c<br />
kernel_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c<br />
<br />
`mode` is 1(MPOL_PREFERRED), nodes_empty(*nodes) is `true` and `flags`<br />
is 0. Then<br />
<br />
mode = MPOL_LOCAL;<br />
...<br />
policy->mode = mode;<br />
policy->flags = flags;<br />
<br />
will be executed. So in mpol_set_nodemask(),<br />
<br />
mpol_set_nodemask() mm/mempolicy.c<br />
do_mbind()<br />
kernel_mbind()<br />
<br />
pol->mode is 4 (MPOL_LOCAL), that `nodemask` in `pol` is not initialized,<br />
which will be accessed in mpol_rebind_policy().
