From c50130d1682d37baac4cec833a964b2c3eb83e9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 21:53:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_store commit c678ef5286ddb5cf70384ad5af286b0afc9b73e1 upstream. As found by gcc-4.8, the QUEUE_SYSFS_BIT_FNS macro creates functions that use a value generated by queue_var_store independent of whether that value was set or not. block/blk-sysfs.c: In function 'queue_store_nonrot': block/blk-sysfs.c:244:385: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] Unlike most other such warnings, this one is not a false positive, writing any non-number string into the sysfs files indeed has an undefined result, rather than returning an error.
