Subject: [PATCH 0/2] kernel: remove redundant static variable initializations
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:00:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623120101.4942-1-igorpetindev@gmail.com> (raw)
This series removes explicit initializations of static bool variables to
false within the kernel/ 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.

kernel/workqueue: remove redundant initialization for static variables
kernel/stop_machine: remove redundant initialization for
stop_machine_initialized
