By enabling -Wunreachable-code-aggressive on Clang the following code
paths are unreachable.
This has been present since commit ac27a0ec112a ("[PATCH] ext4: initial
copy of files from ext3") and fs/ext3 had it present at the beginning of
git history. It has not been changed since.
Clang warns:
fs/ext4/namei.c:831:17: warning: code will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
unsigned n = count - 1;
^~~~~
fs/ext4/namei.c:830:7: note: silence by adding parentheses to mark code as
explicitly dead
if (0) { // linear search cross check
^
/* DISABLES CODE */ ( )
