Hello Jin Yao,

The patch a33c1ec5cf82: "ASoC: Intel: Refactor common IPC/mailbox code into generic APIs" from Apr 7, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning:

sound/soc/intel/common/sst-ipc.c:242 sst_ipc_reply_find_msg() error: uninitialized symbol 'mask'.

sound/soc/intel/common/sst-ipc.c 226 struct ipc_message *sst_ipc_reply_find_msg(struct sst_generic_ipc *ipc, 227 u64 header) 228 { 229 struct ipc_message *msg; 230 u64 mask; 231 232 if (ipc->ops.reply_msg_match != NULL) 233 header = ipc->ops.reply_msg_match(header, &mask);

What should "mask" be initialized to if ops.reply_msg_match is NULL?

234 235 if (list_empty(&ipc->rx_list)) { 236 dev_err(ipc->dev, "error: rx list empty but received 0x%llx\n", 237 header); 238 return NULL; 239 } 240 241 list_for_each_entry(msg, &ipc->rx_list, list) { 242 if ((msg->header & mask) == header) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Used uninitialized here.

243 return msg; 244 } 245 246 return NULL; 247 }

regards, dan carpenter
