[PATCH] btrfs: fix uninitialized variable warning

From: David Sterba
Date: Fri Jun 03 2011 - 10:50:52 EST


From: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxx>

With Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powercp ppc64_defconfig)
produced this warning:

fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c: In function 'btrfs_delayed_update_inode':
fs/btrfs/delayed-inode.c:1598:6: warning: 'ret' may be used
uninitialized in this function

Introduced by commit 16cdcec736cd ("btrfs: implement delayed inode items
operation").

This fixes a bug in btrfs_update_inode(): if the returned value from
btrfs_delayed_update_inode is a nonzero garbage, inode stat data are not
updated and several call paths may hit a BUG_ON or fail with strange
code.
