[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm dust: Convert an 'else if' into an 'else' in dust_map

[Nathan Chancellor]

When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns:

drivers/md/dm-dust.c:216:11: warning: variable 'ret' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        else if (bio_data_dir(bio) == WRITE)
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
include/linux/bio.h:69:2: note: expanded from macro 'bio_data_dir'
        (op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) ? WRITE : READ)
        ^
drivers/md/dm-dust.c:219:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        return ret;
               ^~~
drivers/md/dm-dust.c:216:7: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is
always true
        else if (bio_data_dir(bio) == WRITE)
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/md/dm-dust.c:209:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to
silence this warning
        int ret;
               ^
                = 0
1 warning generated.

It isn't wrong; however, bio_data_dir will only ever return READ and
WRITE so the second 'else if' can really become an 'else' to silence
this warning and not change the final meaning of the code.
