Setting it to zero doesn't seem like the right thing, it should be an
error code. Oh, heh... Smatch parses this one correctly. "ret" is
always initialized but the code is probably buggy in a different way:


[...]

561 ibmr = rds_ib_reg_fmr(rds_ibdev, sg, nents, key_ret);
562 if (ibmr)
^^^^
This condition is always true because those functions return ERR_PTRs
not NULLs.

Thanks Dan. I will fix that up.
