[PATCH 2/3] [v2] sfc: fix uninitialized variable use

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Jun 19 2023 - 05:12:42 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The new efx_bind_neigh() function contains a broken code path when IPV6 is
disabled:

drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:144:7: error: variable 'n' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (encap->type & EFX_ENCAP_FLAG_IPV6) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:184:8: note: uninitialized use occurs here
if (!n) {
^
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:144:3: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
if (encap->type & EFX_ENCAP_FLAG_IPV6) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc_encap_actions.c:141:22: note: initialize the variable 'n' to silence this warning
struct neighbour *n;
^
= NULL

Change it to use the existing error handling path here.

Fixes: 7e5e7d800011a ("sfc: neighbour lookup for TC encap action offload")
