I don't agree with you about this comment. Initializing ret to 0 can
not solve this problem.
Because the ret value will be override by the following
dmabuf_heap_alloc() calls.

static int test_alloc_errors(char *heap_name)
{
int ret;

ret = dmabuf_heap_alloc(...);
...
ret = dmabuf_heap_alloc(...);
...
ret = dmabuf_heap_alloc_fdflags(...);
...

return ret;
}

The purpose for test_alloc_errors() is to pass some invalid parameters
to dmabuf_heap_alloc()
and wish it return some errors. So -1 is what we expect from
test_alloc_errors(). But the code
in main() will break the loop when the ret value is -1. So I reversed
the return value in test_alloc_errors().

int main(void)
{
while(...) {
...
ret = test_alloc_errors(dir->d_name);
if (ret)
break;
}
}
