From 688703702584dd513b50001bd1eb068655631e9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 13:23:54 +0100 Subject: net/smc: Fix preinitialization of buf_desc in __smc_buf_create() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With gcc-4.1.2: net/smc/smc_core.c: In function ‘__smc_buf_create’: net/smc/smc_core.c:567: warning: ‘bufsize’ may be used uninitialized in this function Indeed, if the for-loop is never executed, bufsize is used uninitialized. In addition, buf_desc is stored for later use, while it is still a NULL pointer. Before, error handling was done by checking if buf_desc is non-NULL. The cleanup changed this to an error check, but forgot to update the preinitialization of buf_desc to an error pointer. Update the preinitializatin of buf_desc to fix this.
