Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 21:00:41 +0200 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> To: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org>, Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@...filter.org>, Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>, netfilter-devel@...r.kernel.org, coreteam@...filter.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_osf: avoid passing pointer to local var gcc-10 points out that a code path exists where a pointer to a stack variable may be passed back to the caller: net/netfilter/nfnetlink_osf.c: In function 'nf_osf_hdr_ctx_init': cc1: warning: function may return address of local variable [-Wreturn-local-addr] net/netfilter/nfnetlink_osf.c:171:16: note: declared here 171 | struct tcphdr _tcph; | ^~~~~ I am not sure whether this can happen in practice, but moving the variable declaration into the callers avoids the problem.
