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/20170903083000.587-1-nicolas.iooss_linux@m4x.orgSigned-off-by: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@m4x.org> Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
