Gcc report "hw/vmxnet3.c:972: error: ‘rx_ridx’ may be used
uninitialized in this function", so fix it.

This seems to be a gcc weakness in some versions.

No warnings here with gcc (GCC) 4.7.2 20121109 (Red Hat 4.7.2-8).

I manually checked the code and there is no path which can use
uninitialized rx_ridx:

static bool
vmxnet3_indicate_packet(VMXNET3State *s)
{
    struct Vmxnet3_RxDesc rxd;
    bool is_head = true;
    uint32_t rxd_idx;
    uint32_t rx_ridx;
[...]
    while (bytes_left > 0) {
[...]
        if (!vmxnet3_get_next_rx_descr(s, is_head, &rxd, &rxd_idx, &rx_ridx)) {
            break;
        }

rx_ridx is assigned by vmxnet3_get_next_rx_descr() unless it returns
false.

From now on rx_ridx is initialized.

[...]
        rxcd.rqID = RXQ_IDX + rx_ridx * s->rxq_num;

Used here, fine since we initialized it above.

[...]
        VMW_RIPRN("RX Completion descriptor: rxRing: %lu rxIdx %lu len %lu "
                  "sop %d csum_correct %lu",
                  (unsigned long) rx_ridx,

Used here, fine since we initialized it above.

[...]
    }

Not used outside the while loop.

Anthony: Please apply this fix directly.  I think there's no need to go
through the net tree.

Hi, Wenchao

Thanks for fixing this!

Dmitry.
