It's possible to use "err" without initializing it.  If it happens to be
a 2 which is SCSI_DH_RETRY then that could cause a bug.

Hello Dan,

The code that uses the 'err' variable occurs in a loop. I think the 
initialization of 'err' should occur after the "retry:" label.

It looks like you're right.  I'll resend.  I don't know this code very
well, obviously and it's a static checker fix not something I have
tested.
