From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 22:16:09 +0000 (+0200) Subject: net/hyperv: avoid uninitialized variable X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52ccd6318481a467d8ad54ea40f60c61e957d58f;p=linux-beck.git net/hyperv: avoid uninitialized variable The hdr_offset variable is only if we deal with a TCP or UDP packet, but as the check surrounding its usage tests for skb_is_gso() instead, the compiler has no idea if the variable is initialized or not at that point: drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c: In function ‘netvsc_start_xmit’: drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c:494:42: error: ‘hdr_offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This adds an additional check for the transport type, which tells the compiler that this path cannot happen. Since the get_net_transport_info() function should always be inlined here, I don't expect this to result in additional runtime checks. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S.
