Hello Kirill A. Shutemov, The patch 5a6e75f8110c: "shmem: prepare huge= mount option and sysfs knob" from Jul 26, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: mm/shmem.c:4013 shmem_init() warn: assigning (-2) to unsigned variable 'SHMEM_SB(shm_mnt->mnt_sb)->huge' mm/shmem.c 4012 #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE 4013 if (has_transparent_hugepage() && shmem_huge < SHMEM_HUGE_DENY) 4014 SHMEM_SB(shm_mnt->mnt_sb)->huge = shmem_huge; SHMEM_HUGE_DENY is -1 so the value less than that is SHMEM_HUGE_FORCE (-2). 4015 else 4016 shmem_huge = 0; /* just in case it was patched */ 4017 #endif 4018 return 0; Btw, if shmem_parse_huge() returns SHMEM_HUGE_FORCE, then both callers treat that as an error. The handling for SHMEM_HUGE_FORCE is confusing for my tiny brain. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
