I am not sure why the robot thinks that this change introduced this warning, I think it has been present since patch 2 of this series. The warning occurs when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is disabled because is_first_zpdesc() is used with VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, which ultimately evaluates to BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() / sizeof(), so is_first_zpdesc() is only used in a compile time context for this configuration. Perhaps this can just be marked as __maybe_unused? Cheers, Nathan
