[PATCH-next] mm/memcontrol.c: Fix potential uninitialized variable warning
From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed May 26 2021 - 15:36:42 EST
If the -Wno-maybe-uninitialized gcc option is not specified, compilation
of memcontrol.c may generate the following warnings:
mm/memcontrol.c: In function ‘refill_obj_stock’:
./arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h:127:17: warning: ‘flags’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
return !(flags & X86_EFLAGS_IF);
~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/memcontrol.c:3216:16: note: ‘flags’ was declared here
unsigned long flags;
^~~~~
In file included from mm/memcontrol.c:29:
mm/memcontrol.c: In function ‘uncharge_page’:
./include/linux/memcontrol.h:797:2: warning: ‘objcg’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
percpu_ref_put(&objcg->refcnt);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix that by properly initializing *pflags in get_obj_stock() and
introducing a use_objcg bool variable in uncharge_page() to avoid
potentially accessing the struct page data twice.
