Subject: [PATCH] mt76: avoid uninitialized skb data
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 22:52:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807205305.88394-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Two functions in the mt7996 driver cause a clang-21 build warning because
the pass uninitialized data into skb_put_data:
drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:1894:21: error: variable 'hdr' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
1894 | skb_put_data(skb, &hdr, sizeof(hdr));
| ^~~
drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:3386:21: error: variable 'hdr' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
3386 | skb_put_data(skb, &hdr, sizeof(hdr));
| ^~~
Remove the otherwise unused variables and instead use skb_put_zero() instead
to fill the header with zeroes.
