Subject: [PATCH] staging: binder: fix usage of uninit scalar in binder_transaction()
Date: Sun, 4 May 2014 01:15:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140504011549.04805208@spike> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1023 bytes --]

Fix the error path when a cookie mismatch is detected. In that case the
function jumps to the exit label without setting the uninitialized, local
variable 'return_error'. Detected by Coverity - CID 201453.
