Compiling xdpsock_user.c with 4.8.5, I hit the following
compilation warning:
HOSTCC samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.o
/data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c: In function ‘main’:
/data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c:449:6: warning: ‘idx_cq’ may be used unini
tialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
u32 idx_cq, idx_fq;

/data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c:606:7: warning: ‘idx_rx’ may be used unini

u32 idx_rx, idx_tx = 0;

/data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c:506:6: warning: ‘idx_rx’ may be used unini
tialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
u32 idx_rx, idx_fq = 0;
As an example, the code pattern looks like:
u32 idx_cq;
...
ret = xsk_ring_prod__reserve(&xsk->umem->fq, rcvd, &idx_fq);
if (ret) {
...
}
... idx_fq ...
The compiler warns since it does not know whether &idx_fq is assigned
or not inside the library function xsk_ring_prod__reserve().
Let us assign an initial value 0 to such auto variables to silence
compiler warning.
Fixes:

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
