[PATCH] fs: namespace: fix uninitialized variable use

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

clang correctly notices that the 'uflags' variable initialization
only happens in some cases:

fs/namespace.c:4622:6: error: variable 'uflags' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
 4622 |         if (flags & MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH)    uflags = AT_EMPTY_PATH;
      |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/namespace.c:4623:48: note: uninitialized use occurs here
 4623 |         from_name = getname_maybe_null(from_pathname, uflags);
      |                                                       ^~~~~~
fs/namespace.c:4622:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
 4622 |         if (flags & MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH)    uflags = AT_EMPTY_PATH;
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
