Subject: [PATCH] xen: unitialised return value in xenbus_write_transaction
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 08:22:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <03f51a1eb4a7e77d6488.1232785367@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The return value of xenbus_write_transaction can be uninitialised in
the success case leading to the userspace xenstore utilities failing.
