I've failed to understand this warning as rwbs is present in the doc header
and in the function parameter :-

/**                                                                                                   

 * blk_fill_rwbs - Fill the buffer rwbs by mapping op to character string.
 * @rwbs        buffer to be filled
 * @op:         REQ_OP_XXX for the tracepoint
 *
 * Description:
 *     Maps the REQ_OP_XXX to character and fills the buffer provided by the
 *     caller with resulting string.

        int i = 0;

        if (op & REQ_PREFLUSH)
                rwbs[i++] = 'F';

        switch (op & REQ_OP_MASK) {
        case REQ_OP_WRITE:
        case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME:
