[PATCH RESEND v1] qed: Fix copy of uninitialized memory
From: Robert Foss
Date: Tue Mar 07 2017 - 11:48:39 EST
In qed_ll2_start_ooo() the ll2_info variable is uninitialized and then
passed to qed_ll2_acquire_connection() where it is copied into a new
memory space.
This shouldn't cause any issue as long as non of the copied memory is
every read.
But the potential for a bug being introduced by reading this memory
is real.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1399632 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
