[PATCH] x86/kernel: remove unneeded dead-store initialization
From: Yang Li
Date: Wed Mar 31 2021 - 04:01:24 EST
make clang-analyzer on x86_64 defconfig caught my attention with:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cacheinfo.c:880:24: warning: Value stored to
'this_cpu_ci' during its initialization is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
struct cpu_cacheinfo *this_cpu_ci = get_cpu_cacheinfo(cpu);
^
So, simply remove this unneeded dead-store initialization 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.
