[PATCH] scsi: hpsa: Avoid using dev uninitialized in hpsa_eh_device_reset_handler

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Wed May 22 2019 - 21:42:12 EST


Clang warns:

drivers/scsi/hpsa.c:5964:6: warning: variable 'dev' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (lockup_detected(h)) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/scsi/hpsa.c:6042:6: note: uninitialized use occurs here
if (dev)
^~~
drivers/scsi/hpsa.c:5964:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is
always false
if (lockup_detected(h)) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/scsi/hpsa.c:5950:29: note: initialize the variable 'dev' to
silence this warning
struct hpsa_scsi_dev_t *dev;
^
= NULL
1 warning generated.

dev is potentially used uninitialized in the return_reset_status block
for a NULL check if the first 'if (lockup_detected(h))' is taken, as
dev is initialized right after that block. Initialize dev to NULL in
its declaration so that it can be safely checked within the
return_reset_status block.
