The hdr_offset variable is only if we deal with a TCP or UDP packet, but as the check surrounding its usage tests for skb_is_gso() instead, the compiler has no idea if the variable is initialized or not at that point: drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c: In function ‘netvsc_start_xmit’: drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c:494:42: error: ‘hdr_offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] This adds an additional check for the transport type, which tells the compiler that this path cannot happen. Since the get_net_transport_info() function should always be inlined here, I don't expect this to result in additional runtime checks.
