Subject: linux-next: build warning after merge of the final tree (in Linus'
 tree)

Hi Joel,

After merging the scsi-post-merge tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) produced this warning:

fs/ocfs2/xattr.c: In function 'ocfs2_create_empty_xattr_block':
fs/ocfs2/xattr.c:6535: warning: 'meta_ac' is used uninitialized in this function

Introduced by commit d3981544d7a4ed276966cdd58fe2f5d6e8a585d9 ("ocfs2:
Set xattr block entries with ocfs2_xa_set()") which is now in Linus'
tree.  (Entered linux-next on March 1, 2010 and Linus' tree on March 4).

I am pretty certain that this warning indicates a bug.
