From: Colin Ian King <colin.i.king@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: remove redundant assignment to variable free_space Variable free_space is being initialized with a value that is not read, it is being re-assigned later in the two paths of an if statement. The early initialization is redundant and can be removed.
