make clang-analyzer on x86_64 defconfig caught my attention with:
kernel/printk/printk_ringbuffer.c:885:3: warning:
Value stored to 'desc' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
desc = to_desc(desc_ring, head_id);
^
Commit b6cf8b3f33 ("printk: add lockless ringbuffer") introduced
desc_reserve() with this unneeded dead-store assignment.
As discussed with John Ogness privately, this is probably just some minor
left-over from previous iterations of the ringbuffer implementation. So,
simply remove this unneeded dead assignment to make clang-analyzer happy.
As compilers will detect this unneeded assignment and optimize this anyway,
the resulting object code is identical before and after this change.
No functional change. No change to object code.

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.
