[PATCH 4.9 034/102] mm/vmscan.c: fix unsequenced modification and access warning

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Apr 06 2018 - 09:35:27 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nick Desaulniers <nick.desaulniers@xxxxxxxxx>

commit f2f43e566a02a3bdde0a65e6a2e88d707c212a29 upstream.

Clang and its -Wunsequenced emits a warning

mm/vmscan.c:2961:25: error: unsequenced modification and access to 'gfp_mask' [-Wunsequenced]
.gfp_mask = (gfp_mask = current_gfp_context(gfp_mask)),
^

While it is not clear to me whether the initialization code violates the
specification (6.7.8 par 19 (ISO/IEC 9899) looks like it disagrees) the
code is quite confusing and worth cleaning up anyway. Fix this by
reusing sc.gfp_mask rather than the updated input gfp_mask parameter.
