Subject: mm/kasan: remove redundant initialization for kasan_flag_write_only
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:47:42 +0300

Patch series "mm: remove redundant static variable initializations".

This series removes explicit initializations of static bool variables to
false within the mm/ subsystem.  In C, static variables without explicit
initialization are implicitly placed in the .bss section and initialized
to zero/false by default.  Removing these explicit initializations follows
the Linux kernel coding style and avoids cluttering the data section.


This patch (of 2):

The static variable 'kasan_flag_write_only' is implicitly initialized to
false.  Remove the explicit initialization to follow the Linux kernel
coding style.
