Currently variable ret is declared in a while-loop code block that shadows another variable ret. When an error occurs in the while-loop the error return in ret is not being set in the outer code block and so the error check on ret is always going to be checking on the wrong ret variable resulting in check that is always going to be true and a premature return occurs. Fix this by removing the declaration of the inner while-loop variable ret so that shadowing does not occur.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
