[PATCH] cpufreq: amd-pstate: avoid uninitialized variable use

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Feb 07 2023 - 11:13:09 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The new epp support causes warnings about three separate
but related bugs:

1) failing before allocation should just return an error:

drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:951:6: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!dev)
^~~~
drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:1018:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
return ret;
^~~

2) wrong variable to store return code:

drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:963:6: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (rc)
^~
drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:1019:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
return ret;
^~~
drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:963:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
if (rc)
^~~~~~~

3) calling amd_pstate_set_epp() in cleanup path after determining
that it should not be called:

drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:1055:6: error: variable 'epp' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (cpudata->epp_policy == cpudata->policy)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c:1080:30: note: uninitialized use occurs here
amd_pstate_set_epp(cpudata, epp);
^~~

All three are trivial to fix, but most likely there are additional bugs
in this function when the error handling was not really tested.
