[PATCH 1/1] dax: initialize variable pfn before using it
From: Nicolas Iooss
Date: Sun Sep 03 2017 - 04:32:44 EST
Function dax_pmd_insert_mapping() contains the following code:
pfn_t pfn;
if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0)
goto fallback;
/* ... */
fallback:
trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret);
When the condition in the if statement fails, the function calls
trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback() with an uninitialized pfn value.
This issue has been found while building the kernel with clang. The
compiler reported:
fs/dax.c:1280:6: error: variable 'pfn' is used uninitialized
whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/dax.c:1310:60: note: uninitialized use occurs here
trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret);
^~~
