From: Dan Carpenter Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:04:56 +0000 (+0300) Subject: fuse: Uninitialized variable in fuse_epoch_work() X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8da059f2a497a2427150faae5adc3bb78e73b3e2;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git fuse: Uninitialized variable in fuse_epoch_work() The fuse_ilookup() function only sets *fm on the success path so this "if (fm) {" NULL check doesn't work. The "fm" pointer is either uninitialized or valid. Check the "inode" pointer instead. Also, while it's not necessary, it is cleaner to move the iput(inode) under the NULL check as well.
