Wong" Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xfs: zero initialize highstale and lowstale in xfs_dir2_leaf_addname Message-ID: <20190311161948.GC4359@magnolia> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-xfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: List-Id: xfs To: linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org Cc: Nathan Chancellor , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Nick Desaulniers , clang-built-linux@googlegroups.com From: Darrick J. Wong Smatch complains about the following: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_leaf.c:848 xfs_dir2_leaf_addname() error: uninitialized symbol 'lowstale'. fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_leaf.c:849 xfs_dir2_leaf_addname() error: uninitialized symbol 'highstale'. I don't think there's any incorrect behavior associated with the uninitialized variable, but as the author of the previous zero-init patch points out, it's best not to be passing around pointers to uninitialized stack areas.
