While running the online fsck test suite, I noticed the following
assertion in the kernel log (edited for brevity):
XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_health.c, line: 571
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 11667 at fs/xfs/xfs_message.c:104 assfail+0x46/0x4a [xfs]

This assertion triggers in xfs_dirattr_mark_sick when the caller passes
in a whichfork value that is neither of XFS_{DATA,ATTR}_FORK. The cause
of this is that xchk_directory_blocks only partially initializes the
xfs_da_args structure that is passed to xfs_dir2_isblock. If the data
fork is not correct, the XFS_IS_CORRUPT clause will trigger. My
development branch reports this failure to the health monitoring
subsystem, which accesses the uninitialized args->whichfork field,
leading the the assertion tripping. We really shouldn't be passing
random stack contents around, so the solution here is to force the
compiler to zero-initialize the struct.
Found by fuzzing u3.bmx[0].blockcount = middlebit on xfs/1554.

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.
