[PATCH] rxrpc: fix uninitialized variable use

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Jun 17 2016 - 05:54:27 EST


Hashing the peer key was introduced for AF_INET, but gcc
warns about the rxrpc_peer_hash_key function returning uninitialized
data for any other value of srx->transport.family:

net/rxrpc/peer_object.c: In function 'rxrpc_peer_hash_key':
net/rxrpc/peer_object.c:57:15: error: 'p' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Assuming that nothing else can be set here, this changes the
function to just return zero in case of an unknown address
family.

Fixes: be6e6707f6ee ("rxrpc: Rework peer object handling to use hash table and RCU")

This showed up today in linux-next, no idea if my patch is the
right solution for the problem, so please review carefully.
