GCC throws warning message as below:
‘clone_src_i_size’ may be used uninitialized in this function
[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
#define IS_ALIGNED(x, a) (((x) & ((typeof(x))(a) - 1)) == 0)
^
fs/btrfs/send.c:5088:6: note: ‘clone_src_i_size’ was declared here
u64 clone_src_i_size;
^
The clone_src_i_size is only used as call-by-reference
in a call to get_inode_info().
Silence the warning by initializing clone_src_i_size to 0.
Note that the warning is a false positive and reported by older versions
of GCC (eg. 7.x) but not eg 9.x. As there have been numerous people, the
patch is applied. Setting clone_src_i_size to 0 does not otherwise make
sense and would not do any action in case the code changes in the future.

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.
