commit53a256a9b9upstream. dmaengine_desc_set_reuse() allocates a struct dma_slave_caps on the stack, populates it using dma_get_slave_caps() and then accesses one of its members. However dma_get_slave_caps() may fail and this isn't accounted for, leading to a legitimate warning of gcc-4.9 (but not newer versions): In file included from drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c:19:0: drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c: In function 'dmaengine_desc_set_reuse': >> include/linux/dmaengine.h:1370:10: warning: 'caps.descriptor_reuse' is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] if (caps.descriptor_reuse) { Fix it, thereby also silencing the gcc-4.9 warning. The issue has been present for 4 years but surfaces only now that the first caller of dmaengine_desc_set_reuse() has been added in spi-bcm2835.c. Another user of reusable DMA descriptors has existed for a while in pxa_camera.c, but it sets the DMA_CTRL_REUSE flag directly instead of calling dmaengine_desc_set_reuse(). Nevertheless, tag this commit for stable in case there are out-of-tree users.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
