Subject: [PATCH] xfs: ensure committed is initialized in xfs_trans_roll
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 12:00:48 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56E1B650.8040400@redhat.com> (raw)

__xfs_trans_roll() can return without setting the
*committed argument; this was a problem for xfs_bmap_finish():

        int       committed;/* xact committed or not */
...
        error = __xfs_trans_roll(tp, ip, &committed);
        if (error) {
...
                if (committed) {

and we tested an uninitialized "committed" variable on the
error path.  No caller is preserving "committed" state across
calls to __xfs_trans_roll(), so just initialize committed inside
the function to avoid future errors like this.
