Subject: [PATCH] lightnvm: Fix uninitialized return value in nvm_get_chunk_meta()
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2018 17:07:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181028160726.24450-1-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
With gcc 4.1:
drivers/lightnvm/core.c: In function ‘nvm_get_bb_meta’:
drivers/lightnvm/core.c:977: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function
and
drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c: In function ‘nvme_nvm_get_chk_meta’:
drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c:580: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function
Indeed, if (for the former) the number of channels or LUNs is zero, or
(for both) the passed number of chunks is zero, ret will be returned
uninitialized.
Fix this by preinitializing ret to zero.
Fixes: aff3fb18f957de93 ("lightnvm: move bad block and chunk state logic to core")
Fixes: a294c199455187d1 ("lightnvm: implement get log report chunk helpers")

I don't know if this can happen in practice, but given this is core
functionality that can be called from other files, or even from other
modules, I think it's better to be safe than sorry.
The latter seems to be a pre-existing issue since v4.17.
I didn't notice it before, due to the dependency of NVM on PCI (my gcc
4.1 targets m68k, i.e. no PCI).
