From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch does NOT apply to the 3.12 stable tree. If you still want it applied, please provide a backport. =============== commit b70e19c222a64018d308ebc80333575aff9f4e51 upstream. We should be returning a negative error code instead of success here. This would have been detected by GCC, except that the "ret" variable was initialized with a bogus value to disable GCC's uninitialized variable warnings. I've cleaned that up, as well.
