[PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix unassigned variable access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In ieee80211_latest_active_link_conn_timeout() we loop over all
sta->links in order to compute the timeout expiring last across
all links.

Such timeout is stored in `latest_timeout` which is used in the
time_after() comparison before having been initialized.

Should the for-loop terminate without ever setting `latest_timeout`
we would even return it in its uninitialized state.

Fix this behaviour by initializing the variable to its minimum
value 0.
