Christoph Hellwig 4f010246b4 net/bpfilter: Initialize pos in __bpfilter_process_sockopt
__bpfilter_process_sockopt never initialized the pos variable passed
to the pipe write. This has been mostly harmless in the past as pipes
ignore the offset, but the switch to kernel_write now verified the
position, which can lead to a failure depending on the exact stack
initialization pattern. Initialize the variable to zero to make
rw_verify_area happy.

Fixes: 6955a76fbc ("bpfilter: switch to kernel_write")

README

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.
