3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 3e2426bd0eb980648449e7a2f5a23e3cd3c7725c upstream. If this condition in end_extent_writepage() is false: if (tree->ops && tree->ops->writepage_end_io_hook) we will then test an uninitialized "ret" at: ret = ret < 0 ? ret : -EIO; The test for ret is for the case where ->writepage_end_io_hook failed, and we'd choose that ret as the error; but if there is no ->writepage_end_io_hook, nothing sets ret. Initializing ret to 0 should be sufficient; if writepage_end_io_hook wasn't set, (!uptodate) means non-zero err was passed in, so we choose -EIO in that case.
