From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Clang warns: drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:71:6: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] if (--handle->user_ref_count == 0) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:74:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here return ret; ^~~ drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:71:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true if (--handle->user_ref_count == 0) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/staging/android/ion/ion-ioctl.c:69:9: note: initialize the variable 'ret' to silence this warning int ret; ^ = 0 1 warning generated. The return value of user_ion_handle_put_nolock() is not checked in its one call site in user_ion_free_nolock() so just make user_ion_handle_put_nolock() return void to remove the warning.
