I think there is a slightly better way, with something like this: diff --git a/arch/arm64/kvm/at.c b/arch/arm64/kvm/at.c index b02d8dbffd209..36fa2801ab4ef 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kvm/at.c +++ b/arch/arm64/kvm/at.c @@ -803,12 +803,12 @@ static u64 handle_at_slow(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u32 op, u64 vaddr) } if (perm_fail) { - struct s1_walk_result tmp; - - tmp.failed = true; - tmp.fst = ESR_ELx_FSC_PERM | wr.level; - tmp.s2 = false; - tmp.ptw = false; + struct s1_walk_result tmp = (struct s1_walk_result){ + .failed = true, + .fst = ESR_ELx_FSC_PERM | wr.level, + .s2 = false, + .ptw = false, + }; wr = tmp; } Thoughts? M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
