I now see the following build warning with this patch applied:

drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/selftest/module.c: In function âlnet_selftest_initâ:
drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/selftest/module.c:98:10: warning: ârcâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
return rc;
^~

Care to send a follow-on patch to fix it up?

thanks,
