From: Benjamin Block <bblock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 484647088826f2f651acbda6bcf9536b8a466703 ] GCC v9 emits this warning: CC drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_erp.o drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_erp.c: In function 'zfcp_erp_action_enqueue': drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_erp.c:217:26: warning: 'erp_action' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] 217 | struct zfcp_erp_action *erp_action; | ^~~~~~~~~~ This is a possible false positive case, as also documented in the GCC documentations: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wmaybe-uninitialized The actual code-sequence is like this: Various callers can invoke the function below with the argument "want" being one of: ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_ADAPTER, ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT_FORCED, ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT, or ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_LUN. zfcp_erp_action_enqueue(want, ...) ... need = zfcp_erp_required_act(want, ...) need = want ... maybe: need = ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT maybe: need = ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_ADAPTER ... return need ... zfcp_erp_setup_act(need, ...) struct zfcp_erp_action *erp_action; // <== line 217 ... switch(need) { case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_LUN: ... erp_action = &zfcp_sdev->erp_action; WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->port != port); // <== access ... break; case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT: case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT_FORCED: ... erp_action = &port->erp_action; WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->port != port); // <== access ... break; case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_ADAPTER: ... erp_action = &adapter->erp_action; WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->port != NULL); // <== access ... break; } ... WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->adapter != adapter); // <== access When zfcp_erp_setup_act() is called, 'need' will never be anything else than one of the 4 possible enumeration-names that are used in the switch-case, and 'erp_action' is initialized for every one of them, before it is used. Thus the warning is a false positive, as documented. We introduce the extra if{} in the beginning to create an extra code-flow, so the compiler can be convinced that the switch-case will never see any other value. BUG_ON()/BUG() is intentionally not used to not crash anything, should this ever happen anyway - right now it's impossible, as argued above; and it doesn't introduce a 'default:' switch-case to retain warnings should 'enum zfcp_erp_act_type' ever be extended and no explicit case be introduced. See also v5.0 commit 399b6c8bc9f7 ("scsi: zfcp: drop old default switch case which might paper over missing case").
