[PATCH] net: avoid uninitialized variable

From: zhongjiang <hidden>
Date: 2016-10-27 03:58:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: zhong jiang <redacted>

when I compiler the newest kernel, I hit the following error with
Werror=may-uninitalized.

net/core/flow_dissector.c: In function ?._skb_flow_dissect?
include/uapi/linux/swab.h:100:46: error: ?.lan?.may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
net/core/flow_dissector.c:248:26: note: ?.lan?.was declared here

This adds an additional check for proto to explicitly tell the compiler
that vlan pointer have the correct value before it is used.
