Hi, static analysis with Coverity has found an issue in function ext4_convert_meta_bg() with the following commit commit 1c6bd7173d66b3dfdefcedb38cabc1fb03997509 Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 13 10:19:24 2012 -0400 ext4: convert file system to meta_bg if needed during resizing The analysis is as follows: 1898 1899 errout: 1900 ret = ext4_journal_stop(handle); 1901 if (!err) Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE)assigned_value: Assigning value from ret to err here, but that stored value is not used. 1902 err = ret; 1903 return ret; I'm not entirely sure why !err is being checked and then err is being re-assigned and then is not used.
