Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: heaps: Fix redundant assignment to variable ret in system_heap.c
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 16:30:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191030163040.70055-1-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)

Colin King reported a coverity error:
 The variable ret is being assigned with a value that is never
 read, it is being re-assigned the same value on the err0 exit
 path. The assignment is redundant and hence can be removed.

He had a fix, but Andrew Davis suggested a better solution
(actually returning ret), so this patch implements that fix.
