[PATCH] cachefiles: fix __cachefiles_prepare_write() error handling

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Sat Dec 04 2021 - 17:04:06 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

clang points out that __cachefiles_prepare_write() returns an
uninitialized error code in one of the code paths:

fs/cachefiles/io.c:489:6: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (pos == 0)
^~~~~~~~
fs/cachefiles/io.c:492:6: note: uninitialized use occurs here
if (ret < 0) {
^~~
fs/cachefiles/io.c:489:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
if (pos == 0)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/cachefiles/io.c:440:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning
int ret;
^

Rework to return zero for success here and skip the rest of the
function.
