Hi Neil, This is a false positive. The sz_out is always initialized before used because the same condition i.e. if (sgl != sglout && buflout) is in the error path as well as on the path where is is initialized. This warning is printed by an old gcc version. If you'll use gcc 4.9 or later it wont print it. It didn't make it's way to linux-crypto for whatever reason so resending again. regards, T -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
