As found by Olof's build bot, we gain a harmless warning about a potential uninitialized variable reference in mlx5: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c: In function 'parse_tc_fdb_actions': drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c:769:13: warning: 'out_dev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_tc.c:811:21: note: 'out_dev' was declared here This was introduced through the addition of an 'IS_ERR/PTR_ERR' pair that gcc is unfortunately unable to completely figure out. The problem being gcc cannot tell that if(IS_ERR()) in mlx5e_route_lookup_ipv4() is equivalent to checking if(err) later, so it assumes that 'out_dev' is used after the 'return PTR_ERR(rt)'. The PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() case by comparison is fairly easy to detect by gcc, so it can't get that wrong, so it no longer warns. Hadar Hen Zion already attempted to fix the warning earlier by adding fake initializations, but that ended up not fully addressing all warnings, so I'm reverting it now that it is no longer needed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
