[BUG] There is a compilation warning reported on commitae76d8e3e1("btrfs: scrub: fix grouping of read IO"), where gcc (14.0.0 20231022 experimental) is reporting the following uninitialized variable: fs/btrfs/scrub.c: In function ‘scrub_simple_mirror.isra’: fs/btrfs/scrub.c:2075:29: error: ‘found_logical’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized[https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wmaybe-uninitialized]] 2075 | cur_logical = found_logical + BTRFS_STRIPE_LEN; fs/btrfs/scrub.c:2040:21: note: ‘found_logical’ was declared here 2040 | u64 found_logical; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ [CAUSE] This is a false alert, as @found_logical is passed as parameter @found_logical_ret of function queue_scrub_stripe(). As long as queue_scrub_stripe() returned 0, we would update @found_logical_ret. And if queue_scrub_stripe() returned >0 or <0, the caller would not utilized @found_logical, thus there should be nothing wrong. Although the triggering gcc is still experimental, it looks like the extra check on "if (found_logical_ret)" can sometimes confuse the compiler. Meanwhile the only caller of queue_scrub_stripe() is always passing a valid pointer, there is no need for such check at all. [FIX] Although the report itself is a false alert, we can still make it more explicit by: - Replace the check for @found_logical_ret with ASSERT() - Initialize @found_logical to U64_MAX - Add one extra ASSERT() to make sure @found_logical got updated Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/87fs1x1p93.fsf@gentoo.org/ Fixes:ae76d8e3e1("btrfs: scrub: fix grouping of read IO") Reviewed-by: Anand Jain <anand.jain@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
