Hi,
Static analysis with Coverity on linux-next has detected an
uninitialized variable error in the following commit:
commit 108f95bfaa5665724159e66e4a26206b5589f126

vfs: Convert ceph to use the new mount API
Specifically, in fs/ceph/super.c in function ceph_real_mount, variable
err is not initialized, and when the if (!fsc->sb->s_root) code block is
not executed then err is never assigned and an uninitialized value is
returned:
884 mutex_unlock(&fsc->client->mount_mutex);
Uninitialized scalar variable (UNINIT)
uninit_use: Using uninitialized value err.
885 return err;
886
887 out:
888 mutex_unlock(&fsc->client->mount_mutex);
889 return err;
890 }
Not sure what err should be returning, so I'm reporting this a as bug.
