[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3] crypto/qat: fix uninitilized compiler warning

[Thomas Monjalon]

17/05/2021 11:07, Feifei Wang:
> In Arm platform, when "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY" is set as true, compiler
> will report variable uninitilized warning:
> 
> ../drivers/crypto/qat/qat_sym_session.c:
> In function ‘partial_hash_compute’:
> ../lib/eal/include/generic/rte_byteorder.h:241:24: warning:
> ‘<U35a0>’ may be used uninitialized in this function
> 	[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
> 	241 | #define rte_bswap32(x) __builtin_bswap32(x)
> 	...
> 
> This is because "digest" will be initialized by "rte_memcpy" function
> rather than "memcpy" if "RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY" is set as true. However,
> compiler cannot know it is initialized by the function.
> 
> To fix this, use "calloc" to initialize "digest".

I am not confortable applying this patch without PMD maintainers ack.
