From: Jiapeng Chong <jiapeng.chong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Variable ret is set to -ENOENT and -ENOMEM but this value is never read as it is overwritten or not used later on, hence it is a redundant assignment and can be removed. Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning: fs/afs/dir.c:2014:4: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]. fs/afs/dir.c:659:2: warning: Value stored to 'ret' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]. [DH made the following modifications: - In afs_rename(), -ENOMEM should be placed in op->error instead of ret, rather than the assignment being removed entirely. afs_put_operation() will pick it up from there and return it. - If afs_sillyrename() fails, its error code should be placed in op->error rather than in ret also. ] Fixes: e49c7b2f6de7 ("afs: Build an abstraction around an "operation" concept") Reported-by: Abaci Robot <abaci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiapeng Chong <jiapeng.chong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> cc: linux-afs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1619691492-83866-1-git-send-email-jiapeng.chong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- fs/afs/dir.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/afs/dir.c b/fs/afs/dir.c index 78719f2f567e..ac829e63c570 100644 --- a/fs/afs/dir.c +++ b/fs/afs/dir.c @@ -656,7 +656,6 @@ static int afs_do_lookup_one(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry, return ret; } - ret = -ENOENT; if (!cookie.found) { _leave(" = -ENOENT [not found]"); return -ENOENT; @@ -2020,17 +2019,20 @@ static int afs_rename(struct user_namespace *mnt_userns, struct inode *old_dir, if (d_count(new_dentry) > 2) { /* copy the target dentry's name */ - ret = -ENOMEM; op->rename.tmp = d_alloc(new_dentry->d_parent, &new_dentry->d_name); - if (!op->rename.tmp) + if (!op->rename.tmp) { + op->error = -ENOMEM; goto error; + } ret = afs_sillyrename(new_dvnode, AFS_FS_I(d_inode(new_dentry)), new_dentry, op->key); - if (ret) + if (ret) { + op->error = ret; goto error; + } op->dentry_2 = op->rename.tmp; op->rename.rehash = NULL;
