[PATCH] crypto: ixp4xx: avoid uninitialized variable use

[Arnd Bergmann]

The move to the new AEAD interface introduced a path through the
aead_perform() function in the ixp4xx_crypto driver that leaves
lastlen uninitialized, as gcc warns:

crypto/ixp4xx_crypto.c:1072:5: error: 'lastlen' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
crypto/ixp4xx_crypto.c: In function 'aead_perform':
  if (unlikely(lastlen < authsize)) {

I don't really understand what the code does, but the warning
appears to be correct, and this is my best guess at how it
should behave instead: I'm introducing a temporary variable
that indicates whether we need to allocate an extra buffer
or not, and defaults that variable to 'false', so we only
allocate the buffer if one of the cases happen where we know
that "lastlen < authsize".

Hi Herbert,

It was one of your patches that introduced the warning, so you may
be able to come up with a better fix than I did. Please see this as
a bug report. I have applied it in my ARM randconfig test tree to shut
up the warning for now.
