Hi Josef,

Thanks for looking into this.

The mere fact of assigning something to a variable does not make it initialized.
Namely,

int y;
int x = y;
if (x) ...

is not much different from:

int x;
if (x) ...

Are you sure the data used in the code is in fact initialized?
KMSAN says the data originated in btrfs_alloc_tree_block. Was it
initialized? Where?
