Indeed it is.
This is used as:
for_each_netdev_feature(&upper_disables, feature) {
...
}
which expands to:
int bit;
for_each_set_bit(bit, (unsigned long *)mask_addr, NETDEV_FEATURE_COUNT)
feature = __NETIF_F_BIT(bit);
{
...
}
Note the assignment to "feature" happens outside the {}-delimited block.
And the block is always executed once.
Interestingly, arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc 4.9.0 warns about this in
some of my configs, but not in all of them:
net/core/dev.c: In function '__netdev_update_features':
net/core/dev.c:6302:16: warning: 'feature' may be used uninitialized
in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
features &= ~feature;
^
net/core/dev.c:6295:20: note: 'feature' was declared here
netdev_features_t feature;
^
