From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Various usif_ioctl helper functions do not initialize the return variable ret and some of the error handling return paths just return garbage values that were on the stack (or in a register). I believe that in all the cases, the initial ret variable should be set to -EINVAL and subsequent paths through these helper functions set it appropriately otherwise.
