Just return 0 directly and reduce the scope of ret to the if statement,
as that is the only place that it is used, which is how the function was
before the fixes commit.

Did SHA's change? In linux-next, I see:
commit b77e315a9644 ("io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while
registering/unregistering eventfd")
otherwise LGTM

Yes, this is against Jens' latest for-5.18/io_uring branch, which was
rebased after next-20220207 was released.

Thanks for pointing this out. Just for some background in earlier
revisions of the patch for "io_uring: avoid ring quiesce while
registering/unregistering eventfd" the error return part was being
handled differently, but ended up looking similar to before in the final
revision that got merged, but i forgot to change this part back. Would
it be possible to fold the below diff into the patch as well Jens?
Thanks and sorry for missing this!
Regards,
Usama
