Please don't blindly 'fix' crypto code without reading it carefully
and without cc'ing the author.
The correct fix is to add the missing assignment of 'err', like so
diff --git a/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-neonbs-glue.c
b/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-neonbs-glue.c
index ea873b8904c4..e3e27349a9fe 100644
--- a/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-neonbs-glue.c
+++ b/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-neonbs-glue.c
@@ -384,7 +384,7 @@ static int __xts_crypt(struct skcipher_request
*req, bool encrypt,
goto xts_tail;
kernel_neon_end();
- skcipher_walk_done(&walk, nbytes);
+ err = skcipher_walk_done(&walk, nbytes);
}
if (err || likely(!tail))
Does that make the warning go away?
