paride: fix potential information leak in pg_read()
Smatch has a new check for Rosenberg type information leaks where structs are copied to the user with uninitialized stack data in them. i In this case, the pg_write_hdr struct has a hole in it. struct pg_write_hdr { char magic; /* 0 1 */ char func; /* 1 1 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ int dlen; /* 4 4 */ Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Cc: Tim Waugh <tim@cyberelk.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
