NFS filelayout:call GETDEVICEINFO after pnfs_layout_process completes

Hello Andy Adamson,

The patch 8d40b0f14846: "NFS filelayout:call GETDEVICEINFO after pnfs_layout_process completes" from Mar 20, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning:

	fs/nfs/filelayout/filelayout.c:951 filelayout_pg_init_read()
	warn: 'pgio->pg_lseg' is an error pointer or valid

fs/nfs/filelayout/filelayout.c
899 static struct pnfs_layout_segment *
900 fl_pnfs_update_layout(struct inode *ino,

   901                        struct nfs_open_context *ctx,
   902                        loff_t pos,
   903                        u64 count,
   904                        enum pnfs_iomode iomode,
   905                        bool strict_iomode,
   906                        gfp_t gfp_flags)
   907  {
   908          struct pnfs_layout_segment *lseg = NULL;
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^

This initialization is not needed and misleading in a way because we never return NULLs.

   909          struct pnfs_layout_hdr *lo;
   910          struct nfs4_filelayout_segment *fl;
   911          int status;
   912  
   913          lseg = pnfs_update_layout(ino, ctx, pos, count, iomode, strict_iomode,
   914                                    gfp_flags);
   915          if (!lseg)
   916                  lseg = ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
   917          if (IS_ERR(lseg))
   918                  goto out;
   919  
   920          lo = NFS_I(ino)->layout;
   921          fl = FILELAYOUT_LSEG(lseg);
   922  
   923          status = filelayout_check_deviceid(lo, fl, gfp_flags);
   924          if (status)
   925                  lseg = ERR_PTR(status);
   926  out:
   927          if (IS_ERR(lseg))
   928                  pnfs_put_lseg(lseg);
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Passing an error pointer here will Oops. Not sure what was intended.

   950          /* If no lseg, fall back to read through mds */
   951          if (pgio->pg_lseg == NULL)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is not possible.

Oops. Also the _write() function has a warning as well.

    fs/nfs/filelayout/filelayout.c:978 filelayout_pg_init_write()
    warn: 'pgio->pg_lseg' is an error pointer or valid
