Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2013 15:30:52 +0000 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> To: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@...ionio.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_store As found by gcc-4.8, the QUEUE_SYSFS_BIT_FNS macro creates functions that use a value generated by queue_var_store independent of whether that value was set or not. block/blk-sysfs.c: In function 'queue_store_nonrot': block/blk-sysfs.c:244:385: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] Unlike most other such warnings, this one is not a false positive, writing any non-number string into the sysfs files indeed has an undefined result, rather than returning an error.
