Subject: [PATCH] net/vhost-vdpa.c: Fix clang compilation failure
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 13:29:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221031132901.1277150-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)

Commit 8801ccd0500437 introduced a compilation failure with clang
version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1:

../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:654:16: error: variable 'vdpa_device_fd' is
used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
    } else if (opts->has_vhostfd) {
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:662:33: note: uninitialized use occurs here
    r = vhost_vdpa_get_features(vdpa_device_fd, &features, errp);
                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:654:12: note: remove the 'if' if its condition
is always true
    } else if (opts->has_vhostfd) {
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../net/vhost-vdpa.c:629:23: note: initialize the variable
'vdpa_device_fd' to silence this warning
    int vdpa_device_fd;
                      ^
                       = 0
1 error generated.

It's a false positive -- the compiler doesn't manage to figure out
that the error checks further up mean that there's no code path where
vdpa_device_fd isn't initialized.  Put another way, the problem is
that we check "if (opts->has_vhostfd)" when in fact that condition
must always be true.  A cleverer static analyser would probably warn
that we were checking an always-true condition.

Fix the compilation failure by removing the unnecessary if().

Stefan, do you want to apply this directly as a build fix?
