This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: fix some -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings in ioctl.c 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: btrfs-fix-some-wmaybe-uninitialized-warnings-in-ioct.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 4b16877e221cc4c3f1dc55966ad9aab2e0e670f8 Author: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 26 15:47:27 2023 -0400 btrfs: fix some -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings in ioctl.c [ Upstream commit 9147b9ded499d9853bdf0e9804b7eaa99c4429ed ] Jens reported the following warnings from -Wmaybe-uninitialized recent Linus' branch.

Fix the warnings by initializing the different structs we're copying into.
