5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mirsad Todorovac <mtodorovac69@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 336c218dd7f0588ed8a7345f367975a00a4f003f ] GCC 12.3.0 compiler on linux-next next-20240709 tree found the execution path in which, due to lazy evaluation, devlength isn't initialised with the parsed string: 289 while (map) { 290 devname = devstart = devlength = NULL; 291 292 if (!(devname = strsep(&map, ","))) { 293 E("slram: No devicename specified.\n"); 294 break; 295 } 296 T("slram: devname = %s\n", devname); 297 if ((!map) || (!(devstart = strsep(&map, ",")))) { 298 E("slram: No devicestart specified.\n"); 299 } 300 T("slram: devstart = %s\n", devstart); → 301 if ((!map) || (!(devlength = strsep(&map, ",")))) { 302 E("slram: No devicelength / -end specified.\n"); 303 } → 304 T("slram: devlength = %s\n", devlength); 305 if (parse_cmdline(devname, devstart, devlength) != 0) { 306 return(-EINVAL); 307 } Parsing should be finished after map == NULL, so a break is best inserted after each E("slram: ... \n") error message.
