[PATCH] bcache: avoid clang -Wunintialized warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Mar 22 2019 - 10:35:32 EST


clang has identified a code path in which it thinks a
variable may be unused:

drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:333:4: error: variable 'bucket' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
fifo_pop(&ca->free_inc, bucket);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/md/bcache/util.h:219:27: note: expanded from macro 'fifo_pop'
#define fifo_pop(fifo, i) fifo_pop_front(fifo, (i))
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/md/bcache/util.h:189:6: note: expanded from macro 'fifo_pop_front'
if (_r) { \
^~
drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:343:46: note: uninitialized use occurs here
allocator_wait(ca, bch_allocator_push(ca, bucket));
^~~~~~
drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:287:7: note: expanded from macro 'allocator_wait'
if (cond) \
^~~~
drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:333:4: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
fifo_pop(&ca->free_inc, bucket);
^
drivers/md/bcache/util.h:219:27: note: expanded from macro 'fifo_pop'
#define fifo_pop(fifo, i) fifo_pop_front(fifo, (i))
^
drivers/md/bcache/util.h:189:2: note: expanded from macro 'fifo_pop_front'
if (_r) { \
^
drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:331:15: note: initialize the variable 'bucket' to silence this warning
long bucket;
^

This cannot happen in practice because we only enter the loop
if there is at least one element in the list.

Slightly rearranging the code makes this clearer to both the
reader and the compiler, which avoids the warning.
