Building scsi_debug.o triggers a GCC warning: drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c: In function ‘dif_verify’: drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c:1755:3: warning: ‘csum’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] This is a false positive. But if we transform the switch statement in dif_compute_csum() to a straightforward if/else statement we supply GCC with enough information to determine that csum will not be used uninitialized. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@xxxxxxxxxx> --- 0) v2 because I started to worry whether v1 would change an interface (ie, the way the "guard" module parameter behaves). This patch is much simpler, and doesn't change any behavior. 1) Still only compile tested. drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c | 9 +++------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c index cb4fefa..7565ec5 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c @@ -1735,14 +1735,11 @@ static u16 dif_compute_csum(const void *buf, int len) { u16 csum; - switch (scsi_debug_guard) { - case 1: + if (scsi_debug_guard == 1) csum = ip_compute_csum(buf, len); - break; - case 0: + else csum = cpu_to_be16(crc_t10dif(buf, len)); - break; - } + return csum; } -- 1.8.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
