The follow_link() function always initializes its *p argument, or returns an error, but when building with 'gcc -s', the compiler gets confused by the __always_inline attribute to the function and can no longer detect where the cookie was initialized. The solution is to always initialize the pointer from follow_link, even in the error path. When building with -O2, this has zero impact on generated code and adds a single instruction in the error path for a -Os build on ARM. Without this patch, building with gcc-4.6 through gcc-4.8 and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE results in: fs/namei.c: In function 'link_path_walk': fs/namei.c:649:24: warning: 'cookie' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] fs/namei.c:1544:9: note: 'cookie' was declared here fs/namei.c: In function 'path_lookupat': fs/namei.c:649:24: warning: 'cookie' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] fs/namei.c:1934:10: note: 'cookie' was declared here fs/namei.c: In function 'path_openat': fs/namei.c:649:24: warning: 'cookie' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] fs/namei.c:2899:9: note: 'cookie' was declared here Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
