From: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> Initialize return variable before exiting on an error path.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> --- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c b/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c index da4fc37..9807f32 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c @@ -2790,7 +2790,8 @@ static int __init ctnetlink_init(void) goto err_unreg_subsys; } - if (register_pernet_subsys(&ctnetlink_net_ops)) { + ret = register_pernet_subsys(&ctnetlink_net_ops); + if (ret < 0) { pr_err("ctnetlink_init: cannot register pernet operations\n"); goto err_unreg_exp_subsys; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
