Hi all,

We are trying to get Clang's -Wsometimes-uninitialized turned on for the
kernel as it can catch some bugs that GCC can't. This warning came up:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1612:6: warning: variable 'len' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (rxcmp1->rx_cmp_cfa_code_errors_v2 & RX_CMP_L2_ERRORS) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1703:19: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        cpr->rx_bytes += len;
                         ^~~
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1612:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
        if (rxcmp1->rx_cmp_cfa_code_errors_v2 & RX_CMP_L2_ERRORS) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt.c:1540:18: note: initialize the variable 'len' to silence this warning
        unsigned int len;
                        ^
                         = 0
1 warning generated.

It seems like the logical change to make is this; however, I am not sure
if this has any other unintended consequences since this is a rather
dense function. I would much appreciate your input, especially if there
is a better way to fix it.

Cheers,
Nathan

Gentle ping (if there was a response to this, I didn't receive it). I
know I sent it in the middle of a merge window so I get if it slipped
through the cracks.

Thanks,
Nathan

+ Broadcom folks from commit c0c050c58d84 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom
ethernet driver.").  Looks like Michael wrote and is still maintaining
the driver.

I agree that `goto next_rx_no_prod_no_len` appears to be most correct;
though I don't understand why this function is a mix of early return
codes, vs setting rc then updating *raw_cons.  The alternative is
probably zero initializing len, but I'm not sure whether *raw_cons
should be updated in that case or not.  Thanks for bringing this up
and the patch.  Sorry for the delay in review.  Can folks at Broadcom
please clarify?

I also came up with a workaround for this, but did it the other way round:

Presumably one of the two is correct here, but I don't know which one ;-)

Did you want to submit this a formal patch? Since no one from Broadcom
has chipped in yet, it'd probably be better to submit this for review
and get comments that way. I cannot imagine that this is any worse than
what is currently happening (adding uninitialized stack memory to
rx_bytes when jumping to next_rx) and I like it better than modifying
the goto statement.

This is the only other warning I run into in arm, arm64 and x86_64
all{yes,mod}config so I'd like to get it resolved soon so we can turn on
this warning for the whole kernel.

Cheers,
Nathan

Sorry, I somehow missed this email earlier.  "goto
next_rx_no_prod_no_len" is the most correct fix.  The "cpr->rx_bytes
+= len" logic was added about a year ago when we added the DIM
(Dynamic Interrupt Moderation) support and we missed fixing this goto.

I can prepare and send the patch later today.  Thanks.
