From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/test_meminit.c: fix -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive The conditional logic is too complicated for the compiler to fully comprehend: lib/test_meminit.c: In function 'test_meminit_init': lib/test_meminit.c:236:5: error: 'buf_copy' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] kfree(buf_copy); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ lib/test_meminit.c:201:14: note: 'buf_copy' was declared here Simplify it by splitting out the non-rcu section.
