4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> The driver causes two warnings about possibly uninitialized variables: drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c: In function 'ehca_set_pagebuf': drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:1908:4: warning: 'prev_pgaddr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:1924:14: note: 'prev_pgaddr' was declared here drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c: In function 'ehca_reg_mr': drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:2430:5: warning: 'hret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] The first one is definitely a false positive, the second one may or may not be one. In both cases, adding an intialization is the safe and easy workaround. The driver was removed in mainline in commit e581d111dad3 ("staging/rdma: remove deprecated ehca driver"), in linux-4.6. In 4.4, the file is located in drivers/staging/rdma/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c, and the fix still applies.
