Even if it doesn't happens it is better to initialize this variable explicitly than to introduce a kernel oops in a 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 Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Acked-by: Mel Gorman Acked-by: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/mm/hugetlb.c b/mm/hugetlb.c index cd65cb19c94..5a16423a512 100644 --- a/mm/hugetlb.c +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c @@ -532,7 +532,7 @@ static struct page *dequeue_huge_page_vma(struct hstate *h, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, int avoid_reserve) { - struct page *page; + struct page *page = NULL; struct mempolicy *mpol; nodemask_t *nodemask; struct zonelist *zonelist;
