From 1260662fa3f293042fb0ae124c9a621f29f5bcab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 22:21:40 +0200 Subject: HID: intel_ish-hid: fix potential uninitialized data usage gcc points out an uninialized pointer dereference that could happen if we ever get to recv_ishtp_cl_msg_dma() or recv_ishtp_cl_msg() with an empty &dev->read_list: drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c: In function 'recv_ishtp_cl_msg_dma': drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c:1049:3: error: 'cl' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] The warning only appeared in very few randconfig builds, as the spinlocks tend to prevent gcc from tracing the variables. I only saw it in configurations that had neither SMP nor LOCKDEP enabled. As we can see, we only enter the case if 'complete_rb' is non-NULL, and then 'cl' is known to point to complete_rb->cl. Adding another initialization to the same pointer is harmless here and makes it clear to the compiler that the behavior is well-defined.
