This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ext4: scope ret locally in ext4_try_to_trim_range() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ext4-scope-ret-locally-in-ext4_try_to_trim_range.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 01557b3c84e54b7a3e68e98c39913cb475c04d37 Author: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 20 14:08:53 2021 +0200 ext4: scope ret locally in ext4_try_to_trim_range() [ Upstream commit afcc4e32f606dbfb47aa7309172c89174b86e74c ] As commit 6920b3913235 ("ext4: add new helper interface ext4_try_to_trim_range()") moves some code into the separate function ext4_try_to_trim_range(), the use of the variable ret within that function is more limited and can be adjusted as well. Scope the use of the variable ret locally and drop dead assignments. No functional change.
