[PATCH] NFS: Avoid using error uninitialized in nfs_lookup()

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Fri Nov 05 2021 - 11:57:17 EST


Clang warns:

fs/nfs/dir.c:1772:6: error: variable 'error' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (fhandle == NULL || fattr == NULL)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/nfs/dir.c:1801:44: note: uninitialized use occurs here
trace_nfs_lookup_exit(dir, dentry, flags, error);
^~~~~
fs/nfs/dir.c:1772:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always false
if (fhandle == NULL || fattr == NULL)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/nfs/dir.c:1772:6: error: variable 'error' is used uninitialized whenever '||' condition is true [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (fhandle == NULL || fattr == NULL)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/nfs/dir.c:1801:44: note: uninitialized use occurs here
trace_nfs_lookup_exit(dir, dentry, flags, error);
^~~~~
fs/nfs/dir.c:1772:6: note: remove the '||' if its condition is always false
if (fhandle == NULL || fattr == NULL)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/nfs/dir.c:1754:11: note: initialize the variable 'error' to silence this warning
int error;
^
= 0
2 errors generated.

Add a label to skip the call to trace_nfs_lookup_exit() when the call to
nfs_alloc_fhandle() or nfs_alloc_fattr_with_label() fails because
trace_nfs_lookup_enter() has not been called at that point so tracing
the exit does not make sense.
