Hello Keith Busch, The patch 7b1ccdf617ca: "block: fix leaking page ref on truncated direct io" from Jul 5, 2022, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: block/bio.c:1254 __bio_iov_iter_get_pages() error: uninitialized symbol 'i'. block/bio.c 1195 static int __bio_iov_iter_get_pages(struct bio *bio, struct iov_iter *iter) 1196 { 1197 unsigned short nr_pages = bio->bi_max_vecs - bio->bi_vcnt; 1198 unsigned short entries_left = bio->bi_max_vecs - bio->bi_vcnt; 1199 struct bio_vec *bv = bio->bi_io_vec + bio->bi_vcnt; 1200 struct page **pages = (struct page **)bv; 1201 ssize_t size, left; 1202 unsigned len, i; 1203 size_t offset, trim; 1204 int ret = 0; 1205 1206 /* 1207 * Move page array up in the allocated memory for the bio vecs as far as 1208 * possible so that we can start filling biovecs from the beginning 1209 * without overwriting the temporary page array. 1210 */ 1211 BUILD_BUG_ON(PAGE_PTRS_PER_BVEC < 2); 1212 pages += entries_left * (PAGE_PTRS_PER_BVEC - 1); 1213 1214 /* 1215 * Each segment in the iov is required to be a block size multiple. 1216 * However, we may not be able to get the entire segment if it spans 1217 * more pages than bi_max_vecs allows, so we have to ALIGN_DOWN the 1218 * result to ensure the bio's total size is correct.
