Subject: rtlwifi: always initialize variables given to RT_TRACE()
From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e4779162f7377baa9fb9a044555ecaae22c3f125 ]
In rtl_rx_ampdu_apply(), when rtlpriv->cfg->ops->get_btc_status()
returns false, RT_TRACE() is called with the values of variables
reject_agg and agg_size, which have not been initialized.
Always initialize these variables in order to prevent using
uninitialized values.
This issue has been found with clang. The compiler reported:
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.c:1665:6: error: variable
'agg_size' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (rtlpriv->cfg->ops->get_btc_status())
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.c:1671:31: note:
uninitialized use occurs here
reject_agg, ctrl_agg_size, agg_size);
^~~~~~~~
