Subject: [PATCH] drbd: Drop unnecessary static
Git-commit: e9d5d4a0c13f47e331e39a4c66a9b3da701b280b
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
References: bsc#1104967,FATE#325924

Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before
any use, on every possible execution path through the function.  The
static has no benefit, and dropping it reduces the code size.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@bad exists@
position p;
identifier x;
type T;
@@

static T x@p;
...
x = <+...x...+>

@@
identifier x;
expression e;
type T;
position p != bad.p;
@@

-static
 T x@p;
 ... when != x
     when strict
?x = e;
// </smpl>

The change in code size is indicates by the following output from the size
command.

before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  67299    2291    1056   70646   113f6 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_nl.o

after:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  67283    2291    1056   70630   113e6 drivers/block/drbd/drbd_nl.o
