[PATCH 1/1] percpu: initialize best_upa variable

From: Dennis Zhou
Date: Mon Jun 14 2021 - 10:51:06 EST


Tom reported this finding from clang 10's static analysis [1].

Due to the way the code is written, it will always see a successful loop
iteration. Instead of setting an initial value, check that it was set
instead with BUG_ON() because 0 units per allocation is bogus.

Sorry this hasn't been my highest priority. I'll apply this shortly to
for-5.14.
