[PATCH 19/19] make_parts(): Avoid false positive security warning

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

 



From: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@xxxxxxxxxx>

S_ISBLK() and S_ISLNK() are mutually exclusive. By swapping the checks
round and testing S_ISBLK() first, we avoid having to silence the
compiler for uninitialized variable usage, and avoid a warning from
security checking tools.
