Subject: [for-next][PATCH 2/2] ftrace: Fix uninitialized variable in match_records()
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 21:07:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170713010748.201678253@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20170713010728.966539471@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-ftrace-Fix-uninitialized-variable-in-match_records.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1134 bytes --]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

My static checker complains that if "func" is NULL then "clear_filter"
is uninitialized.  This seems like it could be true, although it's
possible something subtle is happening that I haven't seen.

    kernel/trace/ftrace.c:3844 match_records()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'clear_filter'.
