From 29b00e609960ae0fcff382f4c7079dd0874a5311 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Darrick J. Wong Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2019 22:35:32 -0800 Subject: tmpfs: fix uninitialized return value in shmem_link When we made the shmem_reserve_inode call in shmem_link conditional, we forgot to update the declaration for ret so that it always has a known value. Dan Carpenter pointed out this deficiency in the original patch. Fixes: 1062af920c07 ("tmpfs: fix link accounting when a tmpfile is linked in") Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
