dax: initialize variable pfn before using it
dax_pmd_insert_mapping() contains the following code: pfn_t pfn; if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0) goto fallback; /* ... */ fallback: trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret); When the condition in the if statement fails, the function calls trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback() with an uninitialized pfn value. This issue has been found while building the kernel with clang. The compiler reported: fs/dax.c:1280:6: error: variable 'pfn' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/dax.c:1310:60: note: uninitialized use occurs here trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret); ^~~ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Nicolas Iooss <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler <[email protected]> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
