[lustre-devel] [PATCH 17/20] lnet: fix uninitialize var in choose_ipv4_src()

[James Simmons]

From: Mr NeilBrown <neilb at suse.de>

choose_ip4_src() test "*ret" without initializing it - and callers do
not (and should not) initialize the var.

Instead of testing "*ret", test "err" - if this is non-zero (it will
be -ENOENT) we want to use the address.  If it is zero, then we only
use the address if it is on the right subnet.
