Hello Chuck Lever, The patch 026d958b38c6: "svcrdma: Add recvfrom helpers to svc_rdma_rw.c" from Jun 23, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning: net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_rw.c:689 svc_rdma_build_read_chunk() error: uninitialized symbol 'ret'. net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_rw.c 663 static int svc_rdma_build_read_chunk(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, 664 struct svc_rdma_read_info *info, 665 __be32 *p) 666 { 667 int ret; 668 669 info->ri_chunklen = 0; 670 while (*p++ != xdr_zero) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is this necessarily true for the first iteration through the loop? 671 u32 rs_handle, rs_length; 672 u64 rs_offset; 673 674 if (be32_to_cpup(p++) != info->ri_position) 675 break; ^^^^^ It feels like this should be -EINVAL. 676 rs_handle = be32_to_cpup(p++); 677 rs_length = be32_to_cpup(p++); 678 p = xdr_decode_hyper(p, &rs_offset); 679 680 ret = svc_rdma_build_read_segment(info, rqstp, 681 rs_handle, rs_length, 682 rs_offset); 683 if (ret < 0) 684 break; 685 686 info->ri_chunklen += rs_length; 687 } 688 689 return ret; 690 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
