Subject[PATCH] SquashFS, zlib: Don't use uninitialized variable in zlib_uncompress
In fs/squashfs/zlib_wrapper.c::zlib_uncompress() we have this code:

int zlib_err, zlib_init = 0;
...
do {
if (stream->avail_in == 0 && k < b) {
... [no code that assigns to 'zlib_err'] ...
if (avail == 0) {
offset = 0;
put_bh(bh[k++]);
continue;
}
...
} while (zlib_err == Z_OK);

If we hit that 'continue' statement the first time through, then the
'while' condition will be testing an uninitialized 'zlib_err' - not what
we want.

This patch should take care of the problem by making sure that 'zlib_err'
is initialized to 'Z_OK' at the start of the function.
