KMSAN complains that new_value at cpumask_parse_user() from write_irq_affinity() from irq_affinity_proc_write() is uninitialized. [ 148.133411][ T5509] ===================================================== [ 148.135383][ T5509] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in find_next_bit+0x325/0x340 [ 148.137819][ T5509] [ 148.138448][ T5509] Local variable ----new_value.i@irq_affinity_proc_write created at: [ 148.140768][ T5509] irq_affinity_proc_write+0xc3/0x3d0 [ 148.142298][ T5509] irq_affinity_proc_write+0xc3/0x3d0 [ 148.143823][ T5509] ===================================================== Since bitmap_parse() from cpumask_parse_user() calls find_next_bit(), any alloc_cpumask_var() + cpumask_parse_user() sequence has possibility that find_next_bit() accesses uninitialized cpu mask variable. Fix this problem by replacing alloc_cpumask_var() with zalloc_cpumask_var().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
