            Bug ID: 1586
           Summary: Drivers are doing useless check for pthread_mutex_init
                    return value
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 24.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: stephen at networkplumber.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Various checkers will warn that checking the return value of
pthread_mutex_init() will always be zero.

The documentation states:

RETURN VALUE
       pthread_mutex_init always returns 0.  The other mutex functions return 0
       on success and a non-zero error code on error.

Very minor issue, since it only results in bogus warnings and few instructions
of extra code in the startup path.
