Subject: [PATCH] rocker: fix Wmaybe-uninitialized false-positive
Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:11:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170328141126.1541994-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
gcc-7 reports a warning that earlier versions did not have:
drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker_ofdpa.c: In function 'ofdpa_port_stp_update':
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:79:22: error: '*((void *)&prev_ctrls+4)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
*((short *)to + 2) = *((short *)from + 2);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker_ofdpa.c:2218:7: note: '*((void *)&prev_ctrls+4)' was declared here
This is clearly a variation of the warning about 'prev_state' that
was shut up using uninitialized_var().
We can slightly simplify the code and get rid of the warning by unconditionally
saving the prev_state and prev_ctrls variables. The inlined memcpy is not
particularly expensive here, as it just has to read five bytes from one or
two cache lines.
