Consider handling the 'usbip list' command: Here an uninitialized 'status' variable is declared: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/usb/usbip/src/usbip_list .c#L54 'status' is provided as an output variable here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/usb/usbip/src/usbip_list .c#L62 However, 'usbip_net_recv_op_common' (defined here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/usb/usbip/src/usbip_netw ork.c#L162) can fail and return for several reasons before setting 'status'. The caller uses 'status' (which is still uninitialized) to report an error text here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/usb/usbip/src/usbip_list .c#L65 This leads to random error messages. Sometimes the accidental value of status maps to a specific error text (which is not informative about the actual error), but most of the times it will lead to "Unknown Op Common Status". F.
