[2.6 patch] fs/gfs2/dir.c:gfs2_dir_write_data(): don't use an uninitialized variable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the "if (extlen)" case, "new" might be used uninitialized.

Looking at the code, it should be initialized to 0.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
