The patch titled Subject: mm/page_alloc: init local variable buddy_pfn has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-page_alloc-init-local-variable-buddy_pfn.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-page_alloc-init-local-variable-buddy_pfn.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_alloc: init local variable buddy_pfn Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 15:22:54 +0800 The local variable buddy_pfn could be passed to buddy_merge_likely() without initialization if the passed in order is MAX_ORDER - 1. This looks buggy but buddy_pfn won't be used in this case as there's a order >= MAX_ORDER - 2 check. Init buddy_pfn to 0 anyway to avoid possible future misuse.
