btrfs: make found_logical_ret parameter mandatory for function queue_scrub_stripe()
[ Upstream commit 47e2b06b7b5cb356a987ba3429550c3a89ea89d6 ]
[BUG]
There is a compilation warning reported on commit ae76d8e3e135 ("btrfs:
scrub: fix grouping of read IO"), where gcc (14.0.0 20231022 experimental)
is reporting the following uninitialized variable:
fs/btrfs/scrub.c: In function ‘scrub_simple_mirror.isra’:
fs/btrfs/scrub.c:2075:29: error: ‘found_logical’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized[https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wmaybe-uninitialized]]
2075 | cur_logical = found_logical + BTRFS_STRIPE_LEN;
fs/btrfs/scrub.c:2040:21: note: ‘found_logical’ was declared here
2040 | u64 found_logical;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
[CAUSE]
This is a false alert, as @found_logical is passed as parameter
@found_logical_ret of function queue_scrub_stripe().
As long as queue_scrub_stripe() returned 0, we would update
@found_logical_ret. And if queue_scrub_stripe() returned >0 or <0, the
caller would not utilized @found_logical, thus there should be nothing
wrong.
Although the triggering gcc is still experimental, it looks like the
extra check on "if (found_logical_ret)" can sometimes confuse the
compiler.
Meanwhile the only caller of queue_scrub_stripe() is always passing a
valid pointer, there is no need for such check at all.
[FIX]
Although the report itself is a false alert, we can still make it more
explicit by:
- Replace the check for @found_logical_ret with ASSERT()
- Initialize @found_logical to U64_MAX
- Add one extra ASSERT() to make sure @found_logical got updated
