Subject: [PATCH] block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_store
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 15:30:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201304031530.52712.arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
As found by gcc-4.8, the QUEUE_SYSFS_BIT_FNS macro creates functions
that use a value generated by queue_var_store independent of whether
that value was set or not.
block/blk-sysfs.c: In function 'queue_store_nonrot':
block/blk-sysfs.c:244:385: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Unlike most other such warnings, this one is not a false positive,
writing any non-number string into the sysfs files indeed has
an undefined result, rather than returning an error.
