[PATCH] mm/hugetlb: Initialize page to NULL in alloc_buddy_huge_page_with_mpol()

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Aug 10 2021 - 16:07:01 EST


Clang warns:

mm/hugetlb.c:2162:6: warning: variable 'page' is used uninitialized
whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (mpol_is_preferred_many(mpol)) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/hugetlb.c:2172:7: note: uninitialized use occurs here
if (!page)
^~~~
mm/hugetlb.c:2162:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always
true
if (mpol_is_preferred_many(mpol)) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mm/hugetlb.c:2155:19: note: initialize the variable 'page' to silence
this warning
struct page *page;
^
= NULL
1 warning generated.

Initialize page to NULL like in dequeue_huge_page_vma() so that page is
not used uninitialized.
