Yu Zhao reports compiler warning in page_add_anon_rmap():
mm/rmap.c:1236:13: warning: variable 'first' is used uninitialized
whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
} else if (PageTransHuge(page)) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/rmap.c:1248:18: note: uninitialized use occurs here
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!first && (flags & RMAP_EXCLUSIVE), page);
^~~~~
We do need to fix that, even though it's only uninitialized in an
impossible condition: I've chosen to initialize "first" true, to
minimize the BUGs it might then hit; but you could just as well
choose to initialize it false, to maximize the BUGs it might hit.
