Logan Gunthorpe 51cb8dbf13 NTB: ntb_transport: Ensure qp->tx_mw_dma_addr is initaliazed
Dan Carpenter's static checker reported:

    drivers/ntb/ntb_transport.c:1926 ntb_transport_create_queue()
    error: we previously assumed 'qp->tx_dma_chan' could be null (see line 1872)

This is because the tx_mw_dma_addr is uninitialized in this function and
may be incorrectly released using a NULL DMA channel.

In practice this bug will not likely be seen. I'd guess you could hit
this if you loaded ntb_netdev with use_dma=True, then unloaded it and
loaded it again after setting the module parameter to use_dma=False.

To fix this, we simply ensure that tx_mw_dma_addr is always
initialized to zero. This is the safest in case any other part of the
code operates on it if it is non-zero.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
