From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2012 03:28:16 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memory X-Git-Tag: v3.5.3~24 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dfceb2c4729c987c7c2956158c2d2dc35fa33e0e;p=karo-tx-linux.git ext4: avoid kmemcheck complaint from reading uninitialized memory commit 7e731bc9a12339f344cddf82166b82633d99dd86 upstream. Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero. This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint makes it easier for people to find real bugs. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45631 (which is marked as a regression).
