Hi Nitin,

The current iosys_map_clear() implementation reads the potentially
uninitialized 'is_iomem' boolean field to decide which union member
to clear. This causes undefined behavior when called on uninitialized
structures, as 'is_iomem' may contain garbage values like 0xFF.

UBSAN detects this as:
     UBSAN: invalid-load in include/linux/iosys-map.h:267
     load of value 255 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'

Fix by unconditionally clearing the entire structure with memset(),
eliminating the need to read uninitialized data and ensuring all
fields are set to known good values.

In any case, your patch makes sense to me:

The call to iosys_map_clear() is at

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.15.6/source/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c#L1571

It's a defensive measure for cases where the caller reads the returned map address when it was never initialized by the vmap implementation. I'm not a big fan of memset(), but OK. Preferably, iosys_map_clear() would simply set vaddr = NULL and is_iomem = false. Anyway,
