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 warning was apparently introduced (in v3.11-rc1) by commit beb40ea42b ("[SCSI] scsi_debug: reduce duplication between prot_verify_read and prot_verify_write"). It 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: much simpler, and doesn't change any behavior; v3: mention commit bebe40ea42b, as Akinobu suggested. 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
