Subject: [Cluster-devel] [2.6 patch] fs/gfs2/dir.c:gfs2_dir_write_data(): don't use an uninitialized variable
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2006 15:20:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061019132003.GN3502@stusta.de> (raw)

In the "if (extlen)" case, "new" might be used uninitialized.

Looking at the code, it should be initialized to 0.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
