With gcc 4.1: net/rxrpc/output.c: In function ‘rxrpc_send_data_packet’: net/rxrpc/output.c:338: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function Indeed, if the first jump to the send_fragmentable label is made, and the address family is not handled in the switch() statement, ret will be used uninitialized. Fix this by initializing err to zero before the jump, like is already done for the jump to the done label.
