Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink_log: work around uninitialized variable warning
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 13:08:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17817903.Md6b3ydRpX@wuerfel> (raw)
After a recent (correct) change, gcc started warning about the use
of the 'flags' variable in nfulnl_recv_config()
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c: In function 'nfulnl_recv_config':
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c:320:14: warning: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c:828:6: note: 'flags' was declared here
The warning first shows up in ARM s3c2410_defconfig with gcc-4.3 or
higher (including 5.2.1, which is the latest version I checked) I
tried working around it by rearranging the code but had no success
with that.
As a last resort, this initializes the variable to zero, which shuts
up the warning, but means that we don't get a warning if the code
is ever changed in a way that actually causes the variable to be
used without first being written.
