[PATCH 2/3] nodemask.h: Fix compilation error with GCC12
From: Christophe de Dinechin
Date: Thu Apr 14 2022 - 11:46:24 EST
With gcc version 12.0.1 20220401 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0), building with
defconfig results in the following compilation error:
| CC mm/swapfile.o
| mm/swapfile.c: In function ‘setup_swap_info’:
| mm/swapfile.c:2291:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds
| of ‘struct plist_node[]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
| 2291 | p->avail_lists[i].prio = 1;
| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
| In file included from mm/swapfile.c:16:
| ./include/linux/swap.h:292:27: note: while referencing ‘avail_lists’
| 292 | struct plist_node avail_lists[]; /*
| | ^~~~~~~~~~~
This is due to the compiler detecting that the mask in
node_states[__state] could theoretically be zero, which would lead to
first_node() returning -1 through find_first_bit.
I believe that the warning/error is legitimate. I first tried
adding a test to check that the node mask is not emtpy, since a
similar test exists in the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1.
However, adding the if statement causes other warnings to appear in
for_each_cpu_node_but, because it introduces a dangling else
ambiguity. And unfortunately, GCC is not smart enough to detect that the
added test makes the case where (node) == -1 impossible, so it still
complains with the same message.
This is why I settled on replacing that with a harmless, but relatively
useless (node) >= 0 test. Based on the warning for the dangling else, I
also decided to fix the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1 by moving the
condition inside the for loop. It will still only be tested once. This
ensures that the meaning of an else following for_each_node_mask
or derivatives would not silently have a different meaning depending on
the configuration.
