Hi Steven,

If SVE is enabled then 'ret' can be assigned the return value of
kvm_vcpu_enable_sve() which may be 0 causing future "goto out" sites to
erroneously return 0 on failure rather than -EINVAL as expected.

Remove the initialisation of 'ret' and make setting the return value
explicit to avoid this situation in the future.

The problematic chunk isn't visible in the diff, so reproduced here:

ÂÂÂÂif (!kvm_arm_vcpu_sve_finalized(vcpu)) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ if (test_bit(KVM_ARM_VCPU_SVE, vcpu->arch.features)) {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ ret = kvm_vcpu_enable_sve(vcpu);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ if (ret)
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ goto out;
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ }
ÂÂÂÂ} else {
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ kvm_vcpu_reset_sve(vcpu);
ÂÂÂÂ}

Do you really mean this? Seems counter-productive... :-(

Clearly not... I'm really not sure how I managed to screw that up so badly :(

I'm glad someone is awake!

Sorry about that,

Steve
