Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cgroups: fix cgroup_event_listener error handling
Date: Fri,  4 Jan 2013 13:05:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357333518-28899-2-git-send-email-gthelen@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1357333518-28899-1-git-send-email-gthelen@google.com>

If the <absolute-path-to-control-file> command line parameter cannot
be opened, then cgroup_event_listener prints an error message and
tries to return an error.  However, due to an uninitialized variable
the return value was undefined.

With this patch such failures always return non-zero error.

Compiler warning found this:
  $ gcc -Wall -O2 cgroup_event_listener.c
  cgroup_event_listener.c: In function ‘main’:
  cgroup_event_listener.c:109:2: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
