Subject: [net] ixgbe: phy: fix uninitialized status in ixgbe_setup_phy_link_tnx
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:22:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415730125-13732-1-git-send-email-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> (raw)

From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com>

Status variable is never initialized, can carry an arbitrary value
on the stack and thus may let the function fail.

Fixes: e90dd2645664 ("ixgbe: Make return values more direct")

Acked-by: Emil Tantilov <emil.s.tantilov@intel.com>
