Hi Miklos,
After merging the overlayfs tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) produced this warning:
In file included from fs/overlayfs/dir.c:20:0:
fs/overlayfs/dir.c: In function 'ovl_set_redirect':
fs/overlayfs/overlayfs.h:92:6: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
int err = vfs_setxattr(dentry, name, value, size, flags);
^
fs/overlayfs/dir.c:788:14: note: 'ret' was declared here
char *buf, *ret;
^
Introduced by commit
496654b0792e ("ovl: redirect on rename-dir")
This is not necessarily a false positive (although is is a confusing
message): if the kmalloc of "buf" fails and samedir was not set in
ovl_get_redirect(), then "return ret" will be executed but "ret" has
not been set.
