Even more relevantly, I think the patch is bogus.
What broken tool claims that 'ret' is uninitialized?
That mem_cgroup_resize_max() uses an endless loop construct
(admittedly an odd one - "do while (true)" is not the usual "for (;;)"
syntax). And every single 'break' out of that loop sets the 'ret'
variable.
Whatever tool reported this is just broken, or I'm blind.
