From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: arnd@arndb.de (Arnd Bergmann) Date: Mon, 08 Sep 2014 17:26:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCHv2] rtc: pcf8563: fix uninitialized use warning Message-ID: <2750370.rlMuFcoBUA@wuerfel> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org gcc-4.9 found a potential condition under which the 'pending' variable may be used uninitialized: drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8563.c: In function 'pcf8563_irq': drivers/rtc/rtc-pcf8563.c:173:5: warning: 'pending' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] This is because in the pcf8563_get_alarm_mode() function, we check any nonzero return of pcf8563_read_block_data, but in the irq function we only check for negative values, so a possible positive value does not get detected if the compiler chooses not to inline the entire call chain. Checking for any non-zero value in the interrupt handler as well is just as correct and lets the compiler know what we are doing, without needing a bogus initialization. As pointed out by Sergei Shtylyov, the same code section contains another bug: an interrupt handler is not supposed to return an errno value. Let's fix this as well by returning IRQ_NONE in case of a communication error.
