From 29fe1b481283a1bada994a69f65736db4ae6f35f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:26:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ctnetlink: fix gcc warning during compilation This patch fixes a (bogus?) gcc warning during compilation: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:1234: warning: 'helpname' may be used uninitialized in this function net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:991: warning: 'helpname' may be used uninitialized in this function In fact, helpname is initialized by ctnetlink_parse_help() so I cannot see a way to use it without being initialized.
