[PATCH] virtio_ring: fix uninitialized used value
Posted by Jason Wang 2 months, 1 week ago
Buildbot reports uninitialized used:

drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2113:40: error: variable 'id' is
uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
 2113 |                 BAD_RING(vq, "id %u out of range\n", id);
      |                                                      ^~
drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c:2077:19: note: initialize the variable
'id' to silence this warning
 2077 |         u16 last_used, id, last_used_idx;
      |                          ^
      |                           = 0
1 error generated.

Fixing this by use last_used instead and drop the complete unused
variable id.

I can post a new version.
