Although very unlikely due to the long timeout, if the code is preempted here,
and the loop below never entered, ret will indeed be uninitialized.
It's unclear to me what the proper initialization would be, though, so
that's why I didn't send a patch.

Same here.
Should ret be preinitialized to 0, -ECANCELED, or something else?

I think it would be best to use 0 as initial value of ret in this case.
This will make all other interrupts be processed in a normal way.
Kalle: Should I create a new patch (initializing ret with zero)?

ret = 0 or ret = -ECANCELED, will result in no warning message.
-ETIMEDOUT could be used perhaps.
Note that the function is a void function so the error will not get
propagated.
I am fine with ret = 0 in this case as well.

Yes, please send a new patch fixing this.
But I don't like that much with the style of initialising ret to zero,
it tends to hide things. Instead my preference is something like below
where the error handling is more explicit and easier to find where it's
exactly failing. But that's just an example how I would try to solve it,
it still lacks the handling of -ECANCEL etc.

Right, that's probably the simplest and cleanest solution.

I think I would simply replace the "while() {}" loop with "do{} while()",
as that would guarantee it to be run at least once in a way that the
compiler can see.
