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

 



3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Bolle <pebolle@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 57d88cffc83a2120266bbe9e72cbba5bd5f33675 upstream.

Building qp.o triggers this gcc warning:

    drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/qp.c: In function ‘mlx4_ib_post_send’:
    drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/qp.c:1862:62: warning: ‘vlan’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/qp.c:1752:6: note: ‘vlan’ was declared here

Looking at the code it is clear 'vlan' is only set and used if 'is_eth'
is non-zero. But by initializing 'vlan' to 0xffff, on

    gcc (Ubuntu 4.7.2-22ubuntu1) 4.7.2

on x86-64 at least, we fix the warning, and the compiler was already
setting 'vlan' to 0 in the generated code, so there's no real downside.
