Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 3/4] crypto: qat - Return pointer directly in adf_ctl_alloc_resources
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:25:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625162501.2500811-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625162501.2500811-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 5ce9891ea928208a915411ce8227f8c3e37e5ad9 ]
Returning values through arguments is confusing and that has
upset the compiler with the recent change to memdup_user:
../drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_ctl_drv.c: In function ‘adf_ctl_ioctl’:
../drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_ctl_drv.c:308:26: warning: ‘ctl_data’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
308 | ctl_data->device_id);
| ^~

294 | struct adf_user_cfg_ctl_data *ctl_data;
| ^~~~~~~~
In function ‘adf_ctl_ioctl_dev_stop’,
inlined from ‘adf_ctl_ioctl’ at ../drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_ctl_drv.c:386:9:

Fix this by returning the pointer directly.
