Hi Qi Zheng,
As can be seen in the next hunk, this function returns 'ret'.
However, with this change 'ret' is uninitialised unless
signal_pending() returns non-zero in the while loop below.
This is flagged in a clan-16 W=1 build.
mm/shrinker_debug.c:87:11: warning: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'do' loop exits because its condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
} while ((memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(NULL, memcg, NULL)) != NULL);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/shrinker_debug.c:92:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
return ret;
^~~
mm/shrinker_debug.c:87:11: note: remove the condition if it is always true
} while ((memcg = mem_cgroup_iter(NULL, memcg, NULL)) != NULL);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
