Nicolas Iooss 2f52074d35 dax: initialize variable pfn before using it
dax_pmd_insert_mapping() contains the following code:

        pfn_t pfn;
        if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0)
            goto fallback;
        /* ... */
    fallback:
      trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret);

When the condition in the if statement fails, the function calls
trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback() with an uninitialized pfn value.

This issue has been found while building the kernel with clang.  The
compiler reported:

    fs/dax.c:1280:6: error: variable 'pfn' is used uninitialized
    whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (bdev_dax_pgoff(bdev, sector, size, &pgoff) != 0)
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    fs/dax.c:1310:60: note: uninitialized use occurs here
      trace_dax_pmd_insert_mapping_fallback(inode, vmf, length, pfn, ret);
                                                                     ^~~

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
