[PATCH 4.4 03/73] reiserfs: fix "new_insert_key may be used uninitialized ..."

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Sep 28 2016 - 05:07:11 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx>

commit 0a11b9aae49adf1f952427ef1a1d9e793dd6ffb6 upstream.

new_insert_key only makes any sense when it's associated with a
new_insert_ptr, which is initialized to NULL and changed to a
buffer_head when we also initialize new_insert_key. We can key off of
that to avoid the uninitialized warning.
