Clang warns: drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c:73:14: warning: variable 'buf' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Wuninitialized] void *buf = buf; ~~~ ^~~ 1 warning generated.
Initialize it to NULL, which is more deterministic. Fixes: 279290294662 ("[IA64-SGI] cleanup the way XPC locates the reserved page") Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/466 Suggested-by: Stephen Hines <srhi...@google.com> Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancel...@gmail.com> --- Thanks Steve for the suggestion, don't know why that never crossed my mind... I tried to follow buf all the way down in get_partition_rsvd_page to see if there would be any dereferences and I didn't see any but I could have easily missed something. drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c b/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c index 3eba1c420cc0..782ce95d3f17 100644 --- a/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c +++ b/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ xpc_get_rsvd_page_pa(int nasid) unsigned long rp_pa = nasid; /* seed with nasid */ size_t len = 0; size_t buf_len = 0; - void *buf = buf; + void *buf = NULL; void *buf_base = NULL; enum xp_retval (*get_partition_rsvd_page_pa) (void *, u64 *, unsigned long *, size_t *) = -- 2.22.0.rc1
