From: Alan Cox Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:46:06 +0000 (+0100) Subject: tcp: Document use of undefined variable. X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4308fc58dceda40fac8a8d9c05b7cfba0a6bbed3;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git tcp: Document use of undefined variable. Both tcp_timewait_state_process and tcp_check_req use the same basic construct of struct tcp_options received tmp_opt; tmp_opt.saw_tstamp = 0; then call tcp_parse_options However if they are fed a frame containing a TCP_SACK then tbe code behaviour is undefined because opt_rx->sack_ok is undefined data. This ought to be documented if it is intentional. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: David S.
