[PATCH net-next v1] mm: fix build on powerpc with GCC 14

From: Mina Almasry
Date: Fri Sep 13 2024 - 15:20:57 EST


Building net-next with powerpc with GCC 14 compiler results in this
build error:

/home/sfr/next/tmp/ccuSzwiR.s: Assembler messages:
/home/sfr/next/tmp/ccuSzwiR.s:2579: Error: operand out of domain (39 is
not a multiple of 4)
make[5]: *** [/home/sfr/next/next/scripts/Makefile.build:229:
net/core/page_pool.o] Error 1

Root caused in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/913e2fbd-d318-4c9b-aed2-4d333a1d5cf0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

We try to access offset 40 in the pointer returned by this function:

static inline unsigned long _compound_head(const struct page *page)
{
unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page->compound_head);

if (unlikely(head & 1))
return head - 1;
return (unsigned long)page_fixed_fake_head(page);
}

The GCC 14 (but not 11) compiler optimizes this by doing:

ld page + 39

Rather than:

ld (page - 1) + 40

Causing an unaligned read error. Fix this by bitwise operand instead of
an arthimetic operation to clear the pointer, which probably
communicates the intention of the code a bit better anyway.
