From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Variable ret is assigned to zero and is always zero throughout the function. Thus the check for ret being less than zero is always false and so mapping_set_error always has an -EIO error passed to it. Hence we can remove the redundant assignment and check on ret.
