From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d108370c644b153382632b3e5511ade575c91c86 ] clang static analysis reports this representative problem: label.c:1463:16: warning: Assigned value is garbage or undefined label->hname = name; ^ ~~~~ In aa_update_label_name(), this the problem block of code if (aa_label_acntsxprint(&name, ...) == -1) return res; On failure, aa_label_acntsxprint() has a more complicated return that just -1. So check for a negative return. It was also noted that the aa_label_acntsxprint() main comment refers to a nonexistent parameter, so clean up the comment.
