[PATCH] RDMA/cma: silence GCC warning

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Mon Jul 15 2013 - 07:04:09 EST


Building cma.o triggers this GCC warning:
drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c: In function ârdma_resolve_addrâ:
drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:465:23: warning: âportâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:426:5: note: âportâ was declared here

This is a false positive, as "port" will always be initialized if we're
at "found".

Help GCC by initializing "port" to 0. Since valid port numbers
apparently start at 1, this is an invalid value. That could help in
analyzing the code and tracking down errors.

0) Compile tested only.

1) Perhaps a better way to silence GCC is to drop "port" entirely, and
assign to "id_priv->id.port_num" directly. Would that be acceptable?
