A new warning in clang [1] points out a place in pep_sock_accept() where dst is uninitialized then passed as a const pointer to pep_find_pipe():
net/phonet/pep.c:829:37: error: variable 'dst' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer] 829 | newsk = pep_find_pipe(&pn->hlist, &dst, pipe_handle); | ^~~:
Move the call to pn_skb_get_dst_sockaddr(), which initializes dst, to before the call to pep_find_pipe(), so that dst is consistently used initialized throughout the function.
