In principle I'm OK with being cautious and initializing local
variables just in case, but I'm curious:

acpi_acquire_global_lock() (and its friend, acpi_release_global_lock())
are both wrapped inside the same macro -- ACPI_HW_DEPENDENT_RETURN_STATUS
-- which either makes them both do something useful, or makes them both
no-ops returning a hardcoded AE_NOT_CONFIGURED.

So what else do you think could be a way to get very unlucky ?

Otherwise, sure: Just 'cause we're paranoid doesn't mean someone's not
out to get us! :)

If "glk" happened to to equal acpi_gbl_global_lock_handle by chance
then we would release it without acquiring it first.  Actually I could
initialize it to zero and that would be better, no?

No, because acpi_release_global_lock() would also be a hard-coded
"return AE_NOT_CONFIGURED" by the same macro which also hard-coded
acpi_acquire_global_lock() to be "return AE_NOT_CONFIGURED" in the
first place. See include/acpi/acpixf.h, search for the two occurrences
of

	"#define ACPI_HW_DEPENDENT_RETURN_STATUS"

and then for:

	"global_lock"

further down in the file.

Whether both (or neither) of lock/unlock are for real or just
hardcoded to return AE_NOT_CONFIGURED depends on ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE,
which I assume is also set when there's *no* ACPI hardware at all.

But I don't believe it's possible for "unlock" to do anything at all
if "lock" was hardcoded to simply return AE_NOT_CONFIGURED.

Then again, it's possible I'm still missing something :)

Re: [patch] firmware: qemu_fw_cfg.c: potential unintialized variable

[Dan Carpenter]

Ah...  I see now.  You're right.  Thanks for the explanation.

On my config those functions are no-ops so the variable isn't
initialized.  If they were enabled then *probably* it wouldn't generate
a warning.

Probably just silencing the warning is the way to go though...  I bet
GCC optimizes it away.  Let me think about this some more...

After digging through the acpi_[acquire|release]_global_lock() code in
drivers/acpi/acpica/evxface.c, the -1 value actually makes sense, as
glk is set to the value of acpi_gbl_global_lock_handle, which
internally is a 16-bit value which can wrap around, but will never be
equal to 32-bit "-1". As such, the unlock function would fail with
AE_NOT_ACQUIRED if its "for-real" version ever ended up being called.

So, with the typos in the commit blurb fixed (s/It/If/ and
s/return/returns/), and on general "belt-and-suspenders" principle,

After digging through the acpi_[acquire|release]_global_lock() code in
drivers/acpi/acpica/evxface.c, the -1 value actually makes sense, as
glk is set to the value of acpi_gbl_global_lock_handle, which
internally is a 16-bit value which can wrap around, but will never be
equal to 32-bit "-1". As such, the unlock function would fail with
AE_NOT_ACQUIRED if its "for-real" version ever ended up being called.

So, with the typos in the commit blurb fixed (s/It/If/ and
s/return/returns/), and on general "belt-and-suspenders" principle,

I just wanted to make sure my understanding of "this can't happen with
the way the ACPI macros are currently defined" is still correct :)
