It already got silenced by initializing at declaration in one of the
downstream trees, so I'd rather we do

@@ -3756,7 +3819,7 @@ static void rbd_watch_cb(void *arg, u64
notify_id, u64 cookie,
struct rbd_device *rbd_dev = arg;
void *p = data;
void *const end = p + data_len;
- u8 struct_v;
+ u8 struct_v = 0;
u32 len;
u32 notify_op;
int ret;

to reduce the churn.

The "block" prefix is redundant and "rdb" should be "rbd" in the subject.

Thanks,

Ilya
