[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/mlx4: fix possible uninitialized variable' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

[Yongseok Koh <yskoh@mellanox.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 01/13/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Yongseok

MIME-Version: 1.0

[ upstream commit 554f06d10b1c646f20d7011a30b26fb43507d596 ]

When compiling with gcc -O1, this error appears:
	drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4_ethdev.c: In function ‘mlx4_rxmode_toggle’:
	rte_log.h:321:3: error:
	‘mode’ may be used uninitialized in this function

The function mlx4_rxmode_toggle is never called with a value which
is not in the switch block, but GCC complains about it with -O1.
So the default case is "fixed" by setting string "undefined".

Fixes: eacaac7bae36 ("net/mlx4: restore promisc and allmulti support")
