Subject: [PATCH v2] crypto: drbg - make drbg_{ctr_bcc,kcapi_sym}() return *void*
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 00:00:10 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1bb8aa58-7f40-4ba7-959a-e44655aa4a83@omp.ru> (raw)

From: Karina Yankevich <k.yankevich@omp.ru>

drgb_kcapi_sym() always returns 0, so make it return void instead.
Consequently, make drbg_ctr_bcc() return void too.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

[Sergey: fixed the subject, refreshed the patch]

---
The patch is against the master branch of Linus Torvalds' linux.git repo
(I'm unable to use the other repos on git.kernel.org and I have to update
Linus' repo from GitHub).
