6.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b8e947e9f64cac9df85a07672b658df5b2bcff07 ] Some arch + compiler combinations report a potentially unused variable location in btrfs_lookup_dentry(). This is a false alert as the variable is passed by value and always valid or there's an error. The compilers cannot probably reason about that although btrfs_inode_by_name() is in the same file. > + /kisskb/src/fs/btrfs/inode.c: error: 'location.objectid' may be used +uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]: => 5603:9 > + /kisskb/src/fs/btrfs/inode.c: error: 'location.type' may be used +uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]: => 5674:5 m68k-gcc8/m68k-allmodconfig mips-gcc8/mips-allmodconfig powerpc-gcc5/powerpc-all{mod,yes}config powerpc-gcc5/ppc64_defconfig Initialize it to zero, this should fix the warnings and won't change the behaviour as btrfs_inode_by_name() accepts only a root or inode item types, otherwise returns an error.
