The patch titled Subject: mm: fix build warning for uninitialized value has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-fix-build-warning-for-uninitialized-value.patch 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/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: fix build warning for uninitialized value do_wp_page() sets mmun_called if mmun_start and mmun_end were initialized and, if so, may call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() with these values. This doesn't prevent gcc from emitting a build warning though: mm/memory.c: In function `do_wp_page': mm/memory.c:2530: warning: `mmun_start' may be used uninitialized in this function mm/memory.c:2531: warning: `mmun_end' may be used uninitialized in this function It's much easier to initialize the variables to impossible values and do a simple comparison to determine if they were initialized to remove the bool entirely.
