[PATCH/RFC] mm, oom: Fix uninitialized ret in task_will_free_mem()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Wed Aug 03 2016 - 16:21:25 EST


mm/oom_kill.c: In function âtask_will_free_memâ:
mm/oom_kill.c:767: warning: âretâ may be used uninitialized in this function

If __task_will_free_mem() is never called inside the for_each_process()
loop, ret will not be initialized.

Fixes: 1af8bb43269563e4 ("mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem()")

Untested. I'm not familiar with the code, hence the default value of
true was deducted from the logic in the loop (return false as soon as
__task_will_free_mem() has returned false).
