Subject: fs: namespace: suppress 'may be used uninitialized' warnings
X-Git-Tag: v3.2.101~83
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=773e4c6d6930fa1ef813ac257ec23b77fa95dfd7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

fs: namespace: suppress 'may be used uninitialized' warnings

commit b8850d1fa8e2f6653e57daf6d08e58c5f5eb2c85 upstream.

The gcc version 4.9.1 compiler complains Even though it isn't possible for
these variables to not get initialized before they are used.

fs/namespace.c: In function ‘SyS_mount’:
fs/namespace.c:2720:8: warning: ‘kernel_dev’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  ret = do_mount(kernel_dev, kernel_dir->name, kernel_type, flags,
        ^
fs/namespace.c:2699:8: note: ‘kernel_dev’ was declared here
  char *kernel_dev;
        ^
fs/namespace.c:2720:8: warning: ‘kernel_type’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  ret = do_mount(kernel_dev, kernel_dir->name, kernel_type, flags,
        ^
fs/namespace.c:2697:8: note: ‘kernel_type’ was declared here
  char *kernel_type;
        ^

Fix the warnings by simplifying copy_mount_string() as suggested by Al Viro.
