It landed in master.

[ Adding stable team to the Cc list ]

Hi Greg and stable team, could you please backport:

  commit 8ba7d5f5ba931be68a94b8c91bcced1622934e7a upstream
  ("btrfs: fix uninitialized variable warnings")

to v6.3 to fix gcc (10, 9, 7) build error?

The fs/btrfs/volumes.c hunk won't apply cleanly, but it can auto-merge:

  $ git cherry-pick 8ba7d5f5ba931be68a94b8c91bcced1622934e7a
  Auto-merging fs/btrfs/volumes.c
