Subject: SELinux: Fix a potentially uninitialised variable in SELinux hooks
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~724^2^2~14
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf9481e289247fe9cf40f2e2481220d899132049;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

SELinux: Fix a potentially uninitialised variable in SELinux hooks

Fix a potentially uninitialised variable in SELinux hooks that's given a
pointer to the network address by selinux_parse_skb() passing a pointer back
through its argument list.  By restructuring selinux_parse_skb(), the compiler
can see that the error case need not set it as the caller will return
immediately.
