If the code in register_bcache() jumps to label 'out:' or 'out_module_put:' by goto, these two variables might be reference with undefined value by the following line, out_module_put: module_put(THIS_MODULE); out: pr_info("error %s: %s", path, err); return ret; Therefore this patch initializes these two local variables properly in register_bcache() to avoid such issue.
