When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_node.c:481:6: warning: variable 'lowstale' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_node.c:481:6: warning: variable 'highstale' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] While it isn't technically wrong, it isn't a problem in practice because highstale and lowstale are only initialized in xfs_dir2_leafn_add when compact is not zero then they are passed to xfs_dir3_leaf_find_entry, where they are initialized before use when compact is zero. Regardless, it's better not to be passing around uninitialized stack memory so zero initialize these variables, which silences this warning.
