[PATCH 3/3] afs: Remove redundant assignment to ret

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Jul 12 2021 - 08:57:43 EST


From: Jiapeng Chong <jiapeng.chong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Variable ret is set to -ENOENT and -ENOMEM but this value is never
read as it is overwritten or not used later on, hence it is a
redundant assignment and can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

fs/afs/dir.c:2014:4: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

fs/afs/dir.c:659:2: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].

[DH made the following modifications:

- In afs_rename(), -ENOMEM should be placed in op->error instead of ret,
rather than the assignment being removed entirely. afs_put_operation()
will pick it up from there and return it.

- If afs_sillyrename() fails, its error code should be placed in op->error
rather than in ret also.
