Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs: drop unneeded assignment in ntfs_perform_write()
Date:   Sun, 25 Apr 2021 18:15:54 +0800
Message-Id: <1619345754-32875-1-git-send-email-yang.lee@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

It is not required to initialize the local variable idx in
ntfs_perform_write(), the value is never actually read from
it.

make clang-analyzer on x86_64 allyesconfig reports:

fs/ntfs/file.c:1781:15: warning: Although the value stored to 'idx' is
used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read from
'idx'

Simplify the code and remove unneeded assignment to make clang-analyzer
happy.
