    CVE-2022-50766

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: set generation before calling btrfs_clean_tree_block in btrfs_init_new_buffer syzbot is reporting uninit-value in btrfs_clean_tree_block() [1], for commit bc877d285ca3dba2 ("btrfs: Deduplicate extent_buffer init code") missed that btrfs_set_header_generation() in btrfs_init_new_buffer() must not be moved to after clean_tree_block() because clean_tree_block() is calling btrfs_header_generation() since commit 55c69072d6bd5be1 ("Btrfs: Fix extent_buffer usage when nodesize != leafsize"). Since memzero_extent_buffer() will reset "struct btrfs_header" part, we can't move btrfs_set_header_generation() to before memzero_extent_buffer(). Just re-add btrfs_set_header_generation() before btrfs_clean_tree_block().
