This variable is just a temporary variable, used to do an endian conversion. The problem is that the last byte is not initialized. After the conversion is completely done, the last byte is discarded so it doesn't cause a problem. But static checkers and the KMSan runtime checker can detect the uninitialized read and will complain about it.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
