[PATCH] cgroup: Fix uninitialized variable warning

Show all headers | View raw

Commit 1f7dd3e5a6e4 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration
from subtree_control enabling") introduced the following compiler warning:

mm/memcontrol.c: In function ‘mem_cgroup_can_attach’:
mm/memcontrol.c:4790:9: warning: ‘memcg’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   mc.to = memcg;
         ^
Fix this by initializing 'memcg' to NULL and then verifying that it is set
to a value before dereferencing it.

This issue is present in v4.4-rc5 and later.
