Subject: ext4: "ret" may be used uninitialized in ext4_lazyinit_thread()
X-Git-Tag: v4.13~16951^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2c78cd09b6ef78c8f20190f0b3e6df1d3651b70;p=mirror_ubuntu-bionic-kernel.git

ext4: "ret" may be used uninitialized in ext4_lazyinit_thread()

Newer GCC's reported the following build warning:

   fs/ext4/super.c: In function 'ext4_lazyinit_thread':
   fs/ext4/super.c:2702: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

Fix it by removing the need for the ret variable in the first place.
