Subject: [PATCH net] phonet/pep: Move call to pn_skb_get_dst_sockaddr() earlier in pep_sock_accept()
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 16:15:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250715-net-phonet-fix-uninit-const-pointer-v1-1-8efd1bd188b3@kernel.org> (raw)
A new warning in clang [1] points out a place in pep_sock_accept() where
dst is uninitialized then passed as a const pointer to pep_find_pipe():
net/phonet/pep.c:829:37: error: variable 'dst' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
829 | newsk = pep_find_pipe(&pn->hlist, &dst, pipe_handle);
| ^~~:
Move the call to pn_skb_get_dst_sockaddr(), which initializes dst, to
before the call to pep_find_pipe(), so that dst is consistently used
initialized throughout the function.
