Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] hugetlb: Provide safer dummy values for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:57:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1321567050-13197-3-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1321567050-13197-1-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com>

From: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com>

It was pointed out by David Rientjes that the dummy values for
HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE are quite unsafe.  It they are inadvertently
used with !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE, compilation would succeed, but the
resulting code would surly not do anything sensible.

Place BUG() in the these dummy definitions, as we do in similar
circumstances in other places, so any abuse can be easily detected.

Since the only sane place to use these symbols when
!CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is on dead code paths, the BUG() cause any actual
code to be emitted by the compiler.
