A new warning about a real bug has come up from a recent cleanup:
fs/udf/inode.c: In function 'udf_setup_indirect_aext': fs/udf/inode.c:1927:28: warning: 'adsize' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
If the alloc_type is neither ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_SHORT nor ICBTAG_FLAG_AD_LONG, the value of adsize is undefined. This changes the code to use zero for adsize in that case, which may be the correct solution, though I have not looked at the code in enough detail to know if it should be something else instead.
