Subject: [PATCH] flow_dissector: Pre-initialize ip_proto in __skb_flow_dissect()
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 15:10:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435237832-28838-1-git-send-email-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
net/core/flow_dissector.c: In function ‘__skb_flow_dissect’:
net/core/flow_dissector.c:132: warning: ‘ip_proto’ may be used uninitialized in this function
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

This may be a false positive, but the state machine in
__skb_flow_dissect() is a bit hard to follow.
As I believe it is controlled by a packet received from the network, the
only safe thing to do is to pre-initialize ip_proto.
