From: Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org

The tracefs-specific fields in the inode were not initialized before the inode was exposed to others through the dentry with 'd_instantiate()'.

Move the field initializations up to before the d_instantiate.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 5790b1fb3d672 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode") Reported-by: kernel test robot oliver.sang@intel.com Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202401291043.e62e89dc-oliver.sang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) rostedt@goodmis.org --- Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240130190355.11486-2-torvalds@l...

- Since another patch zeroed out the entire tracefs_inode, there's no need to initialize any of its fields to NULL.
