[PATCH] fs : initialize return for iter_file_splice_write
From: trix
Date: Wed Jun 17 2020 - 09:07:24 EST
From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx>
clang static analysis flags this garbarge return
fs/splice.c:786:2: warning: Undefined or garbage value returned to caller [core.uninitialized.UndefReturn]
return ret;
^~~~~~~~~~
ssize_t
iter_file_splice_write( ... size_t len, ..
sd.total_len = len
ssize_t ret;
while (sd.total_len) {
...
ret =
}
If the input len is 0, the while loop will never run and ret will
not be set.
So handle similar to splice_direct_to_actor and initialize ret to 0
