Hi all, We are trying to get Clang's -Wsometimes-uninitialized turned on for the kernel as it can catch some bugs that GCC can't. This warning came up:
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1612:6: warning: variable 'len' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (rxcmp1->rx_cmp_cfa_code_errors_v2 & RX_CMP_L2_ERRORS) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1703:19: note: uninitialized use occurs here cpr->rx_bytes += len; ^~~ drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1612:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false if (rxcmp1->rx_cmp_cfa_code_errors_v2 & RX_CMP_L2_ERRORS) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1540:18: note: initialize the variable 'len' to silence this warning unsigned int len; ^ = 0 1 warning generated. It seems like the logical change to make is this; however, I am not sure if this has any other unintended consequences since this is a rather dense function. I would much appreciate your input, especially if there is a better way to fix it.
