Hello Richard Weinberger,

The patch 781f675e2d7e: "ubifs: Fix unlink code wrt. double hash
lookups" from May 17, 2017, leads to the following static checker
warning:

	fs/ubifs/tnc.c:1893 search_dh_cookie()
	error: uninitialized symbol 'err'.

fs/ubifs/tnc.c
  1883  static int search_dh_cookie(struct ubifs_info *c, const union ubifs_key *key,
