From cea9007ebb956945f1fb4a4922cdca837e09ef06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Coly Li Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 01:01:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bcache: properly initialize 'path' and 'err' in register_bcache() [ Upstream commit 29cda393bcaad160c4bf3676ddd99855adafc72f ] Patch "bcache: rework error unwinding in register_bcache" from Christoph Hellwig changes the local variables 'path' and 'err' in undefined initial state. If the code in register_bcache() jumps to label 'out:' or 'out_module_put:' by goto, these two variables might be reference with undefined value by the following line, out_module_put: module_put(THIS_MODULE); out: pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err); return ret; Therefore this patch initializes these two local variables properly in register_bcache() to avoid such issue.
