Fix mmotm build warning, presumably also in linux-next:
mm/memory.c: In function `do_swap_page':
mm/memory.c:2498: warning: `pte' may be used uninitialized in this function
Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk>
---
I've only noticed this warning on one machine, the powerpc: certainly it
needs CONFIG_MIGRATION or CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE to see it, but I thought
I had one of those set on other machines - just musing in case it's being
masked elsewhere by some other bug...

The lines was introduced in this patch:
entry = pte_to_swp_entry(orig_pte);
- if (is_migration_entry(entry)) {
- migration_entry_wait(mm, pmd, address);
+ if (unlikely(non_swap_entry(entry))) {
+ if (is_migration_entry(entry)) {
+ migration_entry_wait(mm, pmd, address);
+ } else if (is_hwpoison_entry(entry)) {
+ ret = VM_FAULT_HWPOISON;
+ } else {
+ print_bad_pte(vma, address, pte, NULL);
+ ret = VM_FAULT_OOM;
+ }
goto out;
}
Given that currently there are only two types of non swap entries:
migration/hwpoison, the last 'else' block is in fact dead code..
Thanks,

Ah, yes, I think it is dead code on x86 (32 and 64), where the
swp_entry_t is well packed. But not dead code on ppc64, which has
#define __swp_type(entry) (((entry).val >> 1) & 0x3f)
which is allowing swap types up to 63, when in fact the highest
we use is 31: that leaves space for 32 more non_swap_entry types.
So the compiler was absolutely right to complain about the
uninitialized variable on ppc64, but not on x86. It's a little
surprising that ppc64 allows 64 swap types, but nothing wrong.
Thanks,
Hugh

Ah, yes, I think it is dead code on x86 (32 and 64), where the
swp_entry_t is well packed. But not dead code on ppc64, which has
#define __swp_type(entry) (((entry).val >> 1) & 0x3f)
which is allowing swap types up to 63, when in fact the highest
we use is 31: that leaves space for 32 more non_swap_entry types.

Ah I know. It seems that gcc is smart enough to remove that dead code
and hence the warning message in x86 :)
