Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1] (or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], just remove this variable since it was actually unused: drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c: In function ‘davinci_spi_bufs’: drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c:579:11: warning: unused variable ‘rx_buf_count’ [-Wunused-variable] 579 | unsigned rx_buf_count; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200603174714.192027-1-glider@google.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFw+Vbj0i=1TGqCR5vQkCzWJ0QxK6CernOU6eedsudAixw@mail.gmail.com/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFwgbgqhbp1fkxvRKEpzyR5J8n1vKT1VZdz9knmPuXhOeg@mail.gmail.com/ [4] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFz2500WfbKXAx8s67wrm9=yVJu65TpLgN_ybYNv0VEOKA@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> --- drivers/spi/spi-davinci.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
