From eecd48c84f0e641a69ec96c9780894d5702f856b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 13:28:45 -0700 Subject: ide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just remove this variable since it was actually unused: drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c:232:34: warning: unused variable 'flags' [-Wunused-variable] unsigned long uninitialized_var(flags); ^ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200603174714.192027-1-glider@google.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFw+Vbj0i=1TGqCR5vQkCzWJ0QxK6CernOU6eedsudAixw@mail.gmail.com/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFwgbgqhbp1fkxvRKEpzyR5J8n1vKT1VZdz9knmPuXhOeg@mail.gmail.com/ [4] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFz2500WfbKXAx8s67wrm9=yVJu65TpLgN_ybYNv0VEOKA@mail.gmail.com/ Fixes: ce1e518190ea ("ide: don't disable interrupts during kmap_atomic()") Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Kees Cook --- drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/ide') diff --git a/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c b/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c index aab6a10435b6..a26f85ab58a9 100644 --- a/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c +++ b/drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c @@ -229,7 +229,6 @@ void ide_pio_bytes(ide_drive_t *drive, struct ide_cmd *cmd, ide_hwif_t *hwif = drive->hwif; struct scatterlist *sg = hwif->sg_table; struct scatterlist *cursg = cmd->cursg; - unsigned long uninitialized_var(flags); struct page *page; unsigned int offset; u8 *buf; -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
