This value is actually never used. Is it here because the compiler emits a
spurious non-initialized value warning otherwise? It should be easy for it
to prove that setting new_page to something non-null implies initializing
huge_gfp (in the hunk below), and NULL new_page means it doesn't reach the
mem_cgroup_try_charge() call?
No, I haven't tried to workaround the compiler. It just made the code
more obvious to me. I can remove the initialization if you prefer, of
course.
Yeah IMHO it would be better to remove it, if possible. Leaving it has
the (albeit small) chance that future patch will again use the value in
the code before it's determined based on defrag setting.
