If so, > we can shut it up with uninitialized_var(). Only 2 ways 't' wouldn't be set at all: - If 'n' was NULL right away at line 613. We then exit immediatly at line 626. - If we never found 't->timer == timr', in which case we made it to the end of a branch, and once again 'n' would be NULL and would exit right away at line 626. So yes, I'm in agreement with your patch to shut it up with uninitialized_var(). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
