Subject: [PATCH] s390/crypto: initialize ret to zero to avoid returning garbage value
Date: Mon,  5 Sep 2016 17:21:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160905162118.16510-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

static analysis with cppcheck detected that ret is not initialized
and hence garbage is potentially being returned in the case where
prng_data->ppnows.reseed_counter <= prng_reseed_limit.
