Subject: [PATCH] fs: direct-io: Remove redundant assignment to retval
Date:   Sun, 25 Apr 2021 18:33:27 +0800
Message-Id: <1619346807-47104-1-git-send-email-jiapeng.chong@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

Variable retval is set to zero but this value is never read as it is
overwritten with a new value later on, hence it is a redundant
assignment and can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

fs/direct-io.c:1245:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].
