The problem is that if ceph_mdsc_build_path() fails then we set "path" to NULL and the "pathlen" variable is uninitialized. Then we call ceph_mdsc_free_path(path, pathlen) to clean up. Since "path" is NULL, the function is a no-op but Smatch and UBSan still complain that "pathlen" is uninitialized. This patch doesn't change run time, it just silence the warnings.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
