I see the following commit is fixing the reported problem.

commit 6d5ab7c2f7cf90877dab8f2bb06eb5ca8edc73ef
Author: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>
Date:   Fri Dec 30 12:53:41 2022 -0500

    udf: initialize newblock to 0

    The clang build reports this error
    fs/udf/inode.c:805:6: error: variable 'newblock' is used
uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
            if (*err < 0)
                ^~~~~~~~
    newblock is never set before error handling jump.
    Initialize newblock to 0 and remove redundant settings.

    Fixes: d8b39db5fab8 ("udf: Handle error when adding extent to a file")
