What version of gcc are you using to compile your kernel? This looks
like the case of "gcc is stupid not to notice that depth must be
non-zero, so ix is always initialized". Which doesn't seem to be the
case with gcc 4.3.2, but it might be true with an older version of
gcc.
We can shut up gcc by forcibly initializing ix, but if this is only a
problem with older gcc's, as it seems, it's probably best not to
clutter the source (and the compiled binary) with an unneeded
initialization:
/* go up and search for index to the right */
while (--depth >=3D 0) {
ix =3D path[depth].p_idx;
if (ix !=3D EXT_LAST_INDEX(path[depth].p_hdr))
goto got_index;
}
/* we've gone up to the root and found no index to the right */
return 0;
got_index:
/* we've found index to the right, let's
* follow it and find the closest allocated
* block to the right */
ix++;
^^^^^ Gee, aren't (some verions of) gcc stupid?
