Clang warns: fs/io_uring.c:4178:6: warning: variable 'mask' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (def->pollin) ^~~~~~~~~~~ fs/io_uring.c:4182:2: note: uninitialized use occurs here mask |= POLLERR | POLLPRI; ^~~~ fs/io_uring.c:4178:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true if (def->pollin) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fs/io_uring.c:4154:15: note: initialize the variable 'mask' to silence this warning __poll_t mask, ret; ^ = 0 1 warning generated. io_op_defs has many definitions where pollin is not set so mask indeed might be uninitialized. Initialize it to zero and change the next assignment to |=, in case further masks are added in the future to avoid missing changing the assignment then.
