From 56bb7fd994f4cc163de08006bf68d959027a9f36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:09:02 +0100 Subject: bridge: mdb: avoid uninitialized variable warning A recent change to the mdb code confused the compiler to the point where it did not realize that the port-group returned from br_mdb_add_group() is always valid when the function returns a nonzero return value, so we get a spurious warning: net/bridge/br_mdb.c: In function 'br_mdb_add': net/bridge/br_mdb.c:542:4: error: 'pg' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] __br_mdb_notify(dev, entry, RTM_NEWMDB, pg); Slightly rearranging the code in br_mdb_add_group() makes the problem go away, as gcc is clever enough to see that both functions check for 'ret != 0'.
