[PATCH] KVM: x86: hyper-v: Fix 'using uninitialized value' Coverity warning

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Fri Dec 02 2022 - 06:00:06 EST


In kvm_hv_flush_tlb(), 'data_offset' and 'consumed_xmm_halves' variables
are used in a mutually exclusive way: in 'hc->fast' we count in 'XMM
halves' and increase 'data_offset' otherwise. Coverity discovered, that in
one case both variables are incremented unconditionally. This doesn't seem
to cause any issues as the only user of 'data_offset'/'consumed_xmm_halves'
data is kvm_hv_get_tlb_flush_entries() -> kvm_hv_get_hc_data() which also
takes into account 'hc->fast' but is still worth fixing.

While on it, drop the unneeded 'consumed_xmm_halves' initializer. In
'hc->fast' case the variable is always initialized and is not used
otherwise, 'data_offset' is not being initialized either.
