When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns: drivers/md/dm-dust.c:216:11: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] else if (bio_data_dir(bio) == WRITE) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/bio.h:69:2: note: expanded from macro 'bio_data_dir' (op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) ? WRITE : READ) ^ drivers/md/dm-dust.c:219:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here return ret; ^~~ drivers/md/dm-dust.c:216:7: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true else if (bio_data_dir(bio) == WRITE) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/md/dm-dust.c:209:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning int ret; ^ = 0 1 warning generated. It isn't wrong; however, bio_data_dir will only ever return READ and WRITE so the second 'else if' can really become an 'else' to silence this warning and not change the final meaning of the code.
