From 38a0d0cdb46d3f91534e5b9839ec2d67be14c59d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2019 09:25:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/futex: Fix warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function We see warnings such as: kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex': kernel/futex.c:1676:17: warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] return oldval == cmparg; ^ kernel/futex.c:1651:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here int oldval, ret; ^ This is because arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() only sets *oval if ret is 0 and GCC doesn't see that it will only use it when ret is 0. Anyway, the non-zero ret path is an error path that won't suffer from setting *oval, and as *oval is a local var in futex_atomic_op_inuser() it will have no impact.
