From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]> The ntfs3 specific -Wmaybe-uninitialized flag found one more false-postive, this time with gcc-10 on s390: fs/ntfs3/frecord.c: In function 'ni_expand_list': fs/ntfs3/frecord.c:1370:16: error: 'ins_attr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] Add an explicit NULL pointer check before using the pointer, and initialize it to NULL.
