This patch here appears to fail allmodconfig + LLVM on RISC-V:
../fs/cifs/smb2inode.c:419:4: error: variable 'idata' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
                        idata->symlink_target = kstrdup(cfile->symlink_target, GFP_KERNEL);
                        ^~~~~
../fs/cifs/smb2inode.c:76:35: note: initialize the variable 'idata' to silence this warning
        struct cifs_open_info_data *idata;
                                         ^
                                          = NULL
1 error generated.

It looks like this was reported as a smatch error on Christmas Day:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/202212250020.fyWQFNzF-lkp@intel.com/

Given the day in question, missing that report seems pretty
understandable :)

I tried to see if this had been reported already against the patches
themselves, rather than Sasha's queue, but given the size of the patchset
I may have missed it. Apologies for the noise if I have.

Thanks,
Conor.
