[PATCH/RFC] RDMA/iwpm: Fix uninitialized error code in iwpm_send_mapinfo()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With gcc-4.1.2:

    drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c: In function ‘iwpm_send_mapinfo’:
    drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c:647: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, if nl_client is not found in any of the scanned has buckets, ret
will be used uninitialized.

Preinitialize ret to zero to fix this.

Fixes: 30dc5e63d6a5ad24 ("RDMA/core: Add support for iWARP Port Mapper user space service")

RFC as I have no idea if this can ever happen, and if yes, what's the
correct behavior to handle it:
  - return 0,
  - return an error code,
  - don't send anything,
  - anything else?
