Hi, Static analysis wit Coverity has found an issue in the following commit: commit 26780d9e12edf45c0b98315de272b1feff5a8e93 Author: Bradley Grove <bgrove@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 23 10:35:45 2013 -0400 [SCSI] esas2r: ATTO Technology ExpressSAS 6G SAS/SATA RAID Adapter Driver The issue is in function write_fs in drivers/scsi/esas2r/esas2r_main.c as follows: 101 int result = 0; 102 103 result = esas2r_write_fs(a, buf, off, count); 104 105 if (result < 0) Unused value (UNUSED_VALUE) assigned_value: Assigning value 0 to result here, but that stored value is not used. 106 result = 0; 107 108 return length; I'm not sure what the intention was for this. Was length meant to be assigned to 0 rather than result? Or is the result < 0 check just unnecessary code? Colin
