As clang reports, rvt_create_cq() may return an uninitialized variable, because the 'err' variable is shadowed by another local declaration: drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:260:7: warning: variable 'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (err) ^~~ drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:310:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here return err; ^~~ drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:260:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false if (err) ^~~~~~~~ drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:253:7: warning: variable 'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (!cq->ip) { ^~~~~~~ drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:310:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here return err; ^~~ drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:253:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false if (!cq->ip) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/cq.c:211:9: note: initialize the variable 'err' to silence this warning int err; ^ = 0 I can't think of any reason for the inner variable declaration, so remove it to avoid the issue.
