Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix uninitialized variable
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 11:41:29 +0800
The variable "compact_result" is not initialized in function
__alloc_pages_slowpath(). It causes should_compact_retry() to use an
uninitialized value.
Initialize variable "compact_result" with the value COMPACT_SKIPPED.
