From 9d108d25487bf958f8093409a4c0bee6169edba6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:27:33 -0400 Subject: devtmpfs: missing initialialization in never-hit case create_path() on something without a single / in it will return err without initializing it. It actually can't happen (we call that thing only if create on the same path returns -ENOENT, which won't happen happen for single-component path), but in this case initializing err to 0 is more than making compiler to STFU - would be the right thing to return on such paths; the function creates a parent directory of given pathname and in that case it has no work to do...
