[ Upstream commit b0576f9ecb5c51e9932531d23c447b2739261841 ]
Clang warns:
drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c:73:14: warning: variable 'buf' is
uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Wuninitialized]
void *buf = buf;
~~~ ^~~
1 warning generated.
Arnd's explanation during review:
/*
* Returns the physical address of the partition's reserved page through
* an iterative number of calls.
*
* On first call, 'cookie' and 'len' should be set to 0, and 'addr'
* set to the nasid of the partition whose reserved page's address is
* being sought.
* On subsequent calls, pass the values, that were passed back on the
* previous call.
*
* While the return status equals SALRET_MORE_PASSES, keep calling
* this function after first copying 'len' bytes starting at 'addr'
* into 'buf'. Once the return status equals SALRET_OK, 'addr' will
* be the physical address of the partition's reserved page. If the
* return status equals neither of these, an error as occurred.
*/
static inline s64
sn_partition_reserved_page_pa(u64 buf, u64 *cookie, u64 *addr, u64 *len)
so *len is set to zero on the first call and tells the bios how many
bytes are accessible at 'buf', and it does get updated by the BIOS to
tell us how many bytes it needs, and then we allocate that and try again.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
