Fix an issue detected by the `smatch` tool: block/blk-mq.c:3314 blk_rq_prep_clone() error: uninitialized symbol 'bio'. This patch refactors `blk_rq_prep_clone()` to improve code readability and ensure safety by addressing potential misuse of the `bio` variable: - Move the bio_put(bio); call to the bio_ctr error handling block, which is the only place where it can be triggered. - Move the bio variable into the __rq_for_each_bio loop scope. This change removes the need to set bio to NULL at the loop's end. discussion on why bio remains uninitialized: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241004141037.43277-1-surajsonawane0215@gmail.com Summary of above discussion: - I pointed out that `bio` can remain uninitialized if the allocation with `bio_alloc_clone` fails. - Keith Busch explained that `bio` is initialized to `NULL` when `bio_alloc_clone()` fails, preventing uninitialized usage. - John Garry questioned whether `rq_src->bio` being `NULL` could leave `bio` uninitialized. Keith clarified that in such cases, `bio` is not referenced, so it does not need initialization. - Christoph Hellwig recommended code improvements: - move the bio_put to the bio_ctr error handling, which is the only case where it can happen - move the bio variable into the __rq_for_each_bio scope, which also removed the need to zero it at the end of the loop These changes enhance code clarity, address static analysis tool warnings, and make the function more maintainable. thread of previous version patch discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241004100842.9052-1-surajsonawane0215@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Suraj Sonawane <surajsonawane0215@gmail.com> --- V1 - Initialize 'bio' to NULL. V2 - Move bio_put(bio) into the bio_ctr error handling block, ensuring memory cleanup occurs only when the bio_ctr fail. V3 - Move the bio declaration into the loop scope, eliminating the need to set it to NULL at the end of the loop. V4 - Adjust position of arguments of bio_alloc_clone. V5 - Add commit log properly and change sign-off name from SurajSonawane2415 to Suraj Sonawane (used real name). block/blk-mq.c | 13 ++++++------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)
