Lu Shuaibing 0ce772fe79 9p: Transport error uninitialized
The p9_tag_alloc() does not initialize the transport error t_err field.
The struct p9_req_t *req is allocated and stored in a struct p9_client
variable. The field t_err is never initialized before p9_conn_cancel()
checks its value.

KUMSAN(KernelUninitializedMemorySantizer, a new error detection tool)
reports this bug.

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.
