FYI, i've got 3 XFS warnings mapped in tip/auto-warnings-next:

 earth4:~/tip> gll linus..auto-warnings-next | grep xfs

 ec2f37c: work around warning in fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c
 8501db3: work around warning in fs/xfs/xfs_rtalloc.c
 8077af8: warnings: fix xfs posix acl

you can find those commits in the auto-warnings-next branch of -tip:

  http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

the rtalloc annotation is below. I went through the flow and the code 
seems to be correct and GCC is wrong.

Subject: [PATCH] work around warning in fs/xfs/xfs_rtalloc.c
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

fix warning:

  fs/xfs/xfs_rtalloc.c: In function ‘xfs_growfs_rt’:
  fs/xfs/xfs_rtalloc.c:1875: warning: ‘tp’ may be used uninitialized in this function

This is a spurious gcc warning - it does not realize the correct/bug-free
flow of logic regarding the 'error' and 'tp' variables.

No code changed:
   7c10fd959065115c8e252ff5a861a01e  xfs_rtalloc.o.before.asm
   7c10fd959065115c8e252ff5a861a01e  xfs_rtalloc.o.after.asm

Can't say I've ever seen that warning. What gcc version is
generating it?

Yeah, that's bogus.

Should be fixed in the -next tree.

Cheers,

Dave.
