Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:08:21 +0200 From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@...hat.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Cc: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: Remove arbitrary block value in __es_remove_extent() In __es_remove_extent() we're storing seemingly arbitrary value 0x7FDEADBEEF into block variable. I assume that the reason is just to initialize the variable before the use because the actual value does not matter at this point. Just remove the arbitrary value and initialized block variable to zero which is much less suspicious.
