This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: fix uninitialized return value in the ref-verify tool to the 6.9-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-uninitialized-return-value-in-the-ref-veri.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7e0baaab5dd955a8cc396cca0fa839eb32810869 Author: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jun 23 12:50:26 2024 +0100 btrfs: fix uninitialized return value in the ref-verify tool [ Upstream commit 9da45c88e124f13a3c4d480b89b298e007fbb9e4 ] In the ref-verify tool, when processing the inline references of an extent item, we may end up returning with uninitialized return value, because: 1) The 'ret' variable is not initialized if there are no inline extent references ('ptr' == 'end' before the while loop starts); 2) If we find an extent owner inline reference we don't initialize 'ret'. So fix these cases by initializing 'ret' to 0 when declaring the variable and set it to -EINVAL if we find an extent owner inline references and simple quotas are not enabled (as well as print an error message).
