Subject: [PATCH] vmxnet3: fix lock imbalance in vmxnet3_tq_xmit()
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 15:53:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457967280-4014226-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
A recent bug fix rearranged the code in vmxnet3_tq_xmit() in a
way that left the error handling for oversized headers unlock
a lock that had not been taken yet. Gcc warns about the incorrect
use of the 'flags' variable because of that:
drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c: In function 'vmxnet3_tq_xmit.constprop':
include/linux/spinlock.h:246:3: error: 'flags' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
This changes the error handling path to 'goto' the end of the function
beyond the lock/unlock pair.
