Subject: [patch] ubifs: potential uninitialized variable in truncate_data_node()
Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2017 15:46:35 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170105124635.GA8525@elgon.mountain> (raw)

GCC doesn't complain, but my static checker warns that if the data is
not compressed and not encrypted then "ret" isn't initialized.
