From: Geert Uytterhoeven geert@linux-m68k.org

[ Upstream commit 302d6424e4a293a5761997e6c9fc3dfb1e4c355f ]

With gcc-4.1.2:

drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c: In function ‘iwpm_send_mapinfo’: drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c:647: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, if nl_client is not found in any of the scanned has buckets, ret will be used uninitialized.

Preinitialize ret to -EINVAL to fix this.
