From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2022 17:03:28 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mellanox: mlx5: avoid uninitialized variable warning with gcc-12 X-Git-Tag: baikal/mips/sdk6.1~5530 X-Git-Url: https://git.baikalelectronics.ru/sdk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e187f6f1aa94fecf11e726b73fe6f6489a089040;p=kernel.git mellanox: mlx5: avoid uninitialized variable warning with gcc-12 gcc-12 started warning about 'tracker' being used uninitialized: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lag/lag.c: In function ‘mlx5_do_bond’: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lag/lag.c:786:28: warning: ‘tracker’ is used uninitialized [-Wuninitialized] 786 | struct lag_tracker tracker; | ^~~~~~~ which seems to be because it doesn't track how the use (and initialization) is bound by the 'do_bond' flag. But admittedly that 'do_bond' usage is fairly complicated, and involves passing it around as an argument to helper functions, so it's somewhat understandable that gcc doesn't see how that all works. This function could be rewritten to make the use of that tracker variable more obviously safe, but for now I'm just adding the forced initialization of it.
