Subject: [PATCH][linux-next] net/mlx5: Bridge, fix uninitialized variable in mlx5_esw_bridge_port_changeupper()
Date:   Wed, 18 Aug 2021 09:52:10 -0600
Message-Id: <20210818155210.14522-1-tim.gardner@canonical.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

A recent change removed code that initialized the return code variable 'err'. It
is now possible for mlx5_esw_bridge_port_changeupper() to return an error code
using this uninitialized variable. Fix it by initializing to 0.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)")
