Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: apic: avoid calculating pending eoi from an uninitialized val
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2020 22:04:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1582293886-23335-1-git-send-email-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)

From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com>

When pv_eoi_get_user() fails, 'val' may remain uninitialized and the return
value of pv_eoi_get_pending() becomes random. Fix the issue by initializing
the variable.

v1->v2:
Collect Vitaly' R-b.
Use Vitaly' alternative wording.
Explicitly handle the error, as suggested by Sean.
