[PATCH] IB/mthca: Fix possible uninitialized-variable access in mthca_SYS_EN()

From: Tuo Li
Date: Wed Aug 11 2021 - 08:34:46 EST


The variable out is declared without initialization, and its address is
passed to mthca_cmd_imm():
ret = mthca_cmd_imm(dev, 0, &out, 0, 0, CMD_SYS_EN, CMD_TIME_CLASS_D);

In this function, mthca_cmd_wait() or mthca_cmd_poll() will be called with
the argument out_param, which is the address of the varialbe out. In these
two called functions, mthca_cmd_post() will be called with *out_param,
whose value comes from the uninitialized variable out.
err = mthca_cmd_post(dev, in_param, out_param ? *out_param : 0, ...)

In mthca_cmd_post(), mthca_cmd_post_dbell() or mthca_cmd_post_hcr() will
be called, in which the value from the uninitialized varialble out may be
used:
__raw_writel((__force u32) cpu_to_be32(out_param >> 32), ptr + offs[3]);

To fix this possible uninitialized-variable access, initialized out to 0
at the begining of mthca_SYS_EN().
