Subject[PATCH linux-next] mm/hugetlb: fix warning in alloc_huge_page/dequeue_huge_page_vma
From
Date
This patch fixes gcc warning (and bug?) introduced in linux-next commit cc9a6c877
("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3")

Local variable "page" can be uninitialized if nodemask from vma policy does not
intersects with nodemask from cpuset. Even if it wouldn't happens it's better to
initialize this variable explicitly than to introduce kernel oops on weird corner case.

mm/hugetlb.c: In function ‘alloc_huge_page’:
mm/hugetlb.c:1135:5: warning: ‘page’ may be used uninitialized in this function
