From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 1 May 2019 19:19:20 +0000 (-0700) Subject: gcc-9: don't warn about uninitialized btrfs extent_type variable X-Git-Tag: v5.1~18 X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e74e235bb31a1fefc28d5303da0718b88627ea8;p=linux-platform-drivers-x86.git gcc-9: don't warn about uninitialized btrfs extent_type variable The 'extent_type' variable does seem to be reliably initialized, but it's _very_ non-obvious, since there's a "goto next" case that jumps over the normal initialization. That will then always trigger the "start >= extent_end" test, which will end up never falling through to the use of that variable. But the code is certainly not obvious, and the compiler warning looks reasonable. Make 'extent_type' an int, and initialize it to an invalid negative value, which seems to be the common pattern in other places.
