Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20221201 as part of the linux-next scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits: Fri Nov 18 12:59:05 2022 -0500 260970862c88 ("KVM: x86: hyper-v: Handle HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST{,EX} calls gently") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1527764: Uninitialized variables (UNINIT) arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:2024 in kvm_hv_flush_tlb() 2018 * Hyper-V TLFS doesn't explicitly forbid non-empty sparse vCPU 2019 * banks (and, thus, non-zero 'var_cnt') for the 'all vCPUs' 2020 * case (HV_GENERIC_SET_ALL).
