The 'extent_type' variable does seem to be reliably initialized, but it's _very_ non-obvious, since there's a "goto next" case that jumps over the normal initialization. That will then always trigger the "start >= extent_end" test, which will end up never falling through to the use of that variable. But the code is certainly not obvious, and the compiler warning looks reasonable. Make 'extent_type' an int, and initialize it to an invalid negative value, which seems to be the common pattern in other places. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
