[PATCH] PCI: Always initialize dev in pciconfig_read

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Aug 03 2021 - 16:08:50 EST


Clang warns:

drivers/pci/syscall.c:25:6: warning: variable 'dev' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/pci/syscall.c:81:14: note: uninitialized use occurs here
pci_dev_put(dev);
^~~
drivers/pci/syscall.c:25:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is
always false
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/pci/syscall.c:18:21: note: initialize the variable 'dev' to
silence this warning
struct pci_dev *dev;
^
= NULL
1 warning generated.

pci_dev_put accounts for a NULL pointer so initialize dev to NULL before
the capability check so that there is no use of uninitialized memory.
