From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>
In the unlikely case where ctx->flags & IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is true
and sqd is NULL the pointer tctx is not assigned a valid value and
can contain a garbage value when it is dereferenced. Fix this by
initializing it to NULL.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
Fixes: 9e30726065ea ("io_uring: ensure IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS works with SQPOLL")
