[PATCH tip/core/rcu 8/8] rcu: Fix uninitialized variable in nocb_gp_wait()
From: paulmck
Date: Wed Oct 02 2019 - 21:33:21 EST
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
We never set this to false. This probably doesn't affect most people's
runtime because GCC will automatically initialize it to false at certain
common optimization levels. But that behavior is related to a bug in
GCC and obviously should not be relied on.
Fixes: 5d6742b37727 ("rcu/nocb: Use rcu_segcblist for no-CBs CPUs")
