Arnd Bergmann 4f33fcc68a IB/mlx5: revisit -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning [ Upstream commit `1b19b95169` ] A warning that I thought I had fixed before occasionally comes back in rare randconfig builds (I found 7 instances in the last 100000 builds, originally it was much more frequent): drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c: In function 'mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr': drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1229:5: error: 'order' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] if (order <= mr_cache_max_order(dev)) { ^ drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1247:8: error: 'ncont' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1247:8: error: 'page_shift' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1260:2: error: 'npages' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] I've looked at all those findings again and noticed that they are all with CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_MEM=n, which means ib_umem_get() returns an error unconditionally and we never initialize or use those variables. This triggers a condition in gcc iff mr_umem_get() is partially but not entirely inlined, which in turn depends on the exact combination of optimization settings. This is a known problem with gcc, with no easy solution in the compiler, so this adds another workaround that should be more reliable than my previous attempt. Returning an error from mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr() earlier means that we can completely bypass the logic that caused the warning, the compiler can now see that the variable is never accessed.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
