[PATCH/RFC] RDMA/iwpm: Fix uninitialized error code in iwpm_send_mapinfo()
From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Thu Nov 16 2017 - 05:26:34 EST
With gcc-4.1.2:
drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c: In function âiwpm_send_mapinfoâ:
drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c:647: warning: âretâ may be used uninitialized in this function
Indeed, if nl_client is not found in any of the scanned has buckets, ret
will be used uninitialized.
Preinitialize ret to zero to fix this.
Fixes: 30dc5e63d6a5ad24 ("RDMA/core: Add support for iWARP Port Mapper user space service")

RFC as I have no idea if this can ever happen, and if yes, what's the
correct behavior to handle it:
- return 0,
- return an error code,
- don't send anything,
- anything else?
