From 27b141fc234a3670d21bd742c35d7205d03cbb3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 18:29:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] s390: ctcm: fix ctcm_new_device error return code clang points out that the return code from this function is undefined for one of the error paths: ../drivers/s390/net/ctcm_main.c:1595:7: warning: variable 'result' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (priv->channel[direction] == NULL) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../drivers/s390/net/ctcm_main.c:1638:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here return result; ^~~~~~ ../drivers/s390/net/ctcm_main.c:1595:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false if (priv->channel[direction] == NULL) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../drivers/s390/net/ctcm_main.c:1539:12: note: initialize the variable 'result' to silence this warning int result; ^ Make it return -ENODEV here, as in the related failure cases. gcc has a known bug in underreporting some of these warnings when it has already eliminated the assignment of the return code based on some earlier optimization step.
