[PATCH] dlm: fix uninitialized variable for search_rsb_list callers

From: Benny Halevy
Date: Mon Jun 30 2008 - 13:00:00 EST


gcc 4.3.0 correctly emits the following warning.
search_rsb_list does not *r_ret if no dlm_rsb is found
and _search_rsb may pass the uninitialized value upstream
on the error path when both calls to search_rsb_list
return non-zero error.

The fix sets *r_ret to NULL on search_rsb_list's not-found path.

/usr0/export/dev/bhalevy/git/linux-pnfs-bh-nfs41/fs/dlm/lock.c: In function â_search_rsbâ:
/usr0/export/dev/bhalevy/git/linux-pnfs-bh-nfs41/fs/dlm/lock.c:378: warning: ârâ may be used uninitialized in this function
