From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c b/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c index 7856c33..b68e0cc 100644 --- a/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c +++ b/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c @@ -1994,8 +1994,10 @@ int __xfrm_init_state(struct xfrm_state *x, bool init_replay) goto error; x->outer_mode = xfrm_get_mode(x->props.mode, family); - if (x->outer_mode == NULL) + if (x->outer_mode == NULL) { + err = -EPROTONOSUPPORT; goto error; + } if (init_replay) { err = xfrm_init_replay(x); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
