Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ntfs3: init run lock for extend inode<br />
<br />
After setting the inode mode of $Extend to a regular file, executing the<br />
truncate system call will enter the do_truncate() routine, causing the<br />
run_lock uninitialized error reported by syzbot.<br />
<br />
Prior to patch 4e8011ffec79, if the inode mode of $Extend was not set to<br />
a regular file, the do_truncate() routine would not be entered.<br />
<br />
Add the run_lock initialization when loading $Extend.<br />
<br />
syzbot reported:<br />
INFO: trying to register non-static key.<br />
