When building without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, clang warns: mm/memremap.c:495:13: error: function 'folio_span_valid' is not needed and will not be emitted [-Werror,-Wunneeded-internal-declaration] static bool folio_span_valid(struct dev_pagemap *pgmap, struct folio *folio, ^ 1 error generated. folio_span_valid() is only used within a instance of VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(), which evaluates to BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n, which ultimately resolves to sizeof(), which is fully resolved at compile time. Basically, the warning is flagging that folio_span_valid() is only used in a compile time context and will not be called at run time. Since this is expected given the configuration, mark folio_span_valid() as __maybe_unused so that there is no warning.
