Subject: selftests/memfd: fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning in memfd_test
Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 22:35:56 +0300

Patch series "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings".

This patchset fixes warnings about unused but initialized variables, and
unused dummy buffer passed to pwrite() syscall in the tests.


This patch (of 2):

  memfd_test.c: In function 'mfd_fail_grow_write.part.0':
  memfd_test.c:685:13: warning: '<unknown>' may be used uninitialized
  [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    685 |         l = pwrite(fd, buf, mfd_def_size * 8, 0);
        |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pwrite() is declared with attribute 'access (read_only, 2, 3)', so GCC
knows it reads from the buffer.  malloc() returns uninitialized memory,
hence the warning.  Use calloc() to zero-initialize the buffer.  The
actual contents don't matter here since the test verifies that pwrite()
fails on a sealed memfd.
