Get rid of redundant assignments which end up in values not being
read either because they are overwritten or the function ends.
This log is the same as your last patch.
Instead of a general statement on deadstores, a more specific
analysis of the setting being removed would be helpful.
This will mean splitting the patch to match the analysis.

I think that this explanation in a commit is enough for such a trivial patch.
It informs that we are fixing clang-tidy findings related to deadstores
in a block subsystem. What analysis would you want to see?
Something like "Remove deadstore assignment ret = -EINVAL in a function bio_map_user_iov" ?
I think that it will create too much of not needed overhead.
The compiler should remove these already. All of the static analyzers
produce false positives, if you do not provide analysis the reviewer has
to assume you have not done any and has to do the false positive
analysis themselves. This burdens the reviewer for something of small
value that can be dismissed as churn.
Tom
Cheers,
