Hello Yishai Hadas, Commit 6de042240b0f ("vfio/mlx5: Let firmware knows upon leaving PRE_COPY back to RUNNING") from Feb 5, 2024 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/vfio/pci/mlx5/main.c:1164 mlx5vf_pci_step_device_state_locked() error: uninitialized symbol 'state'. drivers/vfio/pci/mlx5/main.c 1142 if ((cur == VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_PRE_COPY && new == VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_RUNNING) || 1143 (cur == VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_PRE_COPY_P2P && 1144 new == VFIO_DEVICE_STATE_RUNNING_P2P)) { 1145 struct mlx5_vf_migration_file *migf = mvdev->saving_migf; 1146 struct mlx5_vhca_data_buffer *buf; 1147 enum mlx5_vf_migf_state state; ^^^^^ 1148 size_t size; 1149 1150 ret = mlx5vf_cmd_query_vhca_migration_state(mvdev, &size, NULL, 1151 MLX5VF_QUERY_INC | MLX5VF_QUERY_CLEANUP); 1152 if (ret) 1153 return ERR_PTR(ret); 1154 buf = mlx5vf_get_data_buffer(migf, size, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); 1155 if (IS_ERR(buf)) 1156 return ERR_CAST(buf); 1157 /* pre_copy cleanup */ 1158 ret = mlx5vf_cmd_save_vhca_state(mvdev, migf, buf, false, false); 1159 if (ret) { 1160 mlx5vf_put_data_buffer(buf); 1161 return ERR_PTR(ret); 1162 } 1163 mlx5vf_disable_fds(mvdev, &state); ^^^^^^ state is only set some of the time.
