Hi Qian,
Thank you very much for the fix to remove the warning, but actually
the real fix is I'm missing a 'set_hugetlb_cgroup(newhpage, h_cg);'
which will use the variable and set the cgroup on newhpage which is
needed. I'll submit the proper fix.
What bothers me though is that locally when I checkout the broken
patch and try to build I don't see the warning:
make -j80 mm/hugetlb_cgroup.o
no warning.
make -j80 mm/hugetlb_cgroup.o CFLAGS_KERNEL="-Wall"
no warning
make -j80 mm/hugetlb_cgroup.o CFLAGS_KERNEL="-Wunused-but-set-variable"
I see the warning.
So it seems there is a bunch of warnings I need to explicitly turn on
otherwise I will continually submit patches that introduce warnings in
your build. Any idea why I'm running into this? Do you also have to
turn on these warnings manually on your make line? Is it related to
gcc version? My gcc version is:
gcc version 9.2.1 20190909 (Debian 9.2.1-8)
