[PATCH next] x86/mm: Fix uninitialized variable in register_page_bootmem_memmap()
Posted by Dan Carpenter 10 months, 1 week ago
Smatch complains that "next" could be uninitialized.  The "next"
assignment was accidentally left out when we moved these lines to earlier
in the function.

Fixes: bdadaec1526d ("x86/mm: make register_page_bootmem_memmap handle PTE mappings")

This goes through the -mm tree.

Thanks for catching that Dan. I believe Andrew took the series out of
mm-unstable because of some conflicts, and asked me to do a v4 for
mm-unstable. Would you mind if I just folded your change in to the v4
series?

As an aside, it seems that this function could use some cleanup. It
seems wrong to only advance by PAGE_SIZE when you encounter an
unpopulated p4d/pgd/pud/pmd. It should advance to the end of that
p4d/pgd/pud/pmd. I suppose that case won't happen in practice, though,
which is also why this hasn't caused me any issues.

Yeah, no problem.  -mm patches are always folded.
