Check for strict positive timeout.

Check for zero timeout.

So if we get here, timeout is always strict negative, so the check can
be removed.

But gcc-4.1.2 is not smart enough:

drivers/iio/pressure/zpa2326.c:868: warning: ‘ret’ may be used
uninitialized in this function

Good analysis. Care to send the obvious patch?

Thanks Geert for finding that - yes ret needs to be
initialized to 0 here, success case as documented in
the header of zpa2326_wait_oneshot_completion -
interestingly enough gcc gcc (Debian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2
does not flag this uninitioalized variable !

No, ret does not need to be initialized to 0, as it would prevent the warning
from reappearing in case of future logic errors.

Instead the last "if" should be removed, as it's always true.
Will send a patch, as requested by Jonathan.

Only very old or very new versions of gcc do that.

I think Geert's analysis also suggests that you can just drop the last
conditional without changing the code. gcc should be fine with that

hmm... the if can be removed but then it would be two return statements
and one could simply drop ret all together

if (!timeout) {
/* Timed out. */
zpa2326_warn(indio_dev, "no one shot interrupt occurred (%ld)",
timeout);
return -ETIME;
}
zpa2326_warn(indio_dev, "wait for one shot interrupt cancelled");
return -ERESTARTSYS

but I assumed that kernel code should try to not end up
with too many exit points, in which case the if is needed
and the warning could be elimnated by initializing ret to 0
even if that is more or less usless.

thanks - so I need to upgrad my gcc as the compile-checking
will fail to catch uninitilized vars then, atleast in
some cases.

Usual rule of thumb for kernel style is that if you have cleanup to
do (releasing locks etc) then it should be done at a common location.
If there is no cleanup then you should return directly.

yup - just rechecked "7) Centralized exiting of functions" in coding-style.rst
so the solution I posted was wrong - thanks for the clarification !
