From 56039efa18f2530fc23e8ef19e716b65ee2a1d1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:42:19 -0700 Subject: memcg: fix ugly initialization of return value is in caller Remove initialization of vaiable in caller of memory cgroup function. Actually, it's return value of memcg function but it's initialized in caller. Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result of start function to the end function for avoiding races. mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr)) /* Something very complicated can happen here. */ mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr) In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller. But it's ugly. This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start function.
