From: Harshad Shirwadkar <harshadshirwadkar@gmail.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit 720508dd118d04035875823f44bcd27388ff39b2 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit c27c29c6af4f3f4ce925a2111c256733c5a5b430 upstream. It is not guaranteed that __ext4_get_inode_loc will definitely set err_blk pointer when it returns EIO. To avoid using uninitialized variables, let's first set err_blk to 0.
