From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Subject: [patch] btrfs: uninitialized data is check_path_shared() Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 10:23:11 +0200 Message-ID: <20100601082311.GM5483@bicker> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Yan Zheng , Josef Bacik , Al Viro , linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org To: Chris Mason Return-path: List-ID: refs can be used with uninitialized data if btrfs_lookup_extent_info() fails on the first pass through the loop. In the original code if that happens then check_path_shared() probably returns 1, but with this patch it will continue through the loop. I'm not super familiar with this code so please look it over carefully.
