We get a false-positive warning in linux-next for the mlx5 driver: infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c: In function ‘mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr’: infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1172:5: error: ‘order’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1161:6: note: ‘order’ was declared here infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1173:6: error: ‘ncont’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1160:6: note: ‘ncont’ was declared here infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1173:6: error: ‘page_shift’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1158:6: note: ‘page_shift’ was declared here infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1143:13: error: ‘npages’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] infiniband/hw/mlx5/mr.c:1159:6: note: ‘npages’ was declared here I had a trivial workaround for gcc-5 or higher, but that didn't work on gcc-4.9 unfortunately. The only way I found to avoid the warnings for gcc-4.9, short of initializing each of the arguments first was to change the calling conventions to separate the error code from the umem pointer. This avoids casting the error codes from one pointer to another incompatible pointer, and lets gcc figure out when that the data is actually valid whenever we return successfully.
