The kbuild tst robot flagged the following 3 issues:
Case 1)

^
The tool isn't smart enough to see that line 1854 sets a ret value which
thereafter causes the routine to exit. This occurs before any of the assoc
references, so it is not an issue. There are 2 more reportings of this
same failure.
To quiet the tool - rework the if test that does the exit to also
reference assoc. No change in logic otherwise.
Case 2)
drivers/nvme/target/fc.c:1202:29: warning: The scope of the variable
'queue' can be reduced. [variableScope]
struct nvmet_fc_tgt_queue *queue;
^
The tool is requesting the variable be declared within the code block
that utilizes it. Ignoring this report as existing code style is fine.
Case 3)
drivers/nvme/target/fc.c:1137:16: warning: Variable 'needrandom' is
assigned a value that is never used. [unreadVariable]
needrandom = true;
^
Another parsing issue with the tool. Given that parens were not used
with the list_for_each_entry() check, it inadvertantly thinks the
break exited the outer while loop not the inner for loop.
This is not an error. But, added parens to the inner list_for_each_entry()
to quiet the tool and as it is better coding style.

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.
