From fa34cd94fb01fcb8d79d91e009451b37692e94e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 18:13:49 +0200 Subject: net: rtnl: avoid uninitialized data in IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST handling With the newly added support for IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST netlink messages, we get a warning about potential uninitialized variable use in the parsing of the user input when enabling the -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning: net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setvfinfo': net/core/rtnetlink.c:1756:9: error: 'ivvl$' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] I have not been able to prove whether it is possible to arrive in this code with an empty IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST block, but if we do, then ndo_set_vf_vlan gets called with uninitialized arguments. This adds an explicit check for an empty list, making it obvious to the reader and the compiler that this cannot happen.
