[PATCH] dma-buf: heaps: Fix redundant assignment to variable ret in system_heap.c

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Colin King reported a coverity error:
 The variable ret is being assigned with a value that is never
 read, it is being re-assigned the same value on the err0 exit
 path. The assignment is redundant and hence can be removed.

He had a fix, but Andrew Davis suggested a better solution
(actually returning ret), so this patch implements that fix.
