From a431dbbc540532b7465eae4fc8b56a85a9fc7d17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long longman@redhat.com Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2022 13:09:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/sparsemem: fix 'mem_section' will never be NULL gcc 12 warning
The gcc 12 compiler reports a "'mem_section' will never be NULL" warning on the following code:
static inline struct mem_section *__nr_to_section(unsigned long nr) { #ifdef CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME if (!mem_section) return NULL; #endif if (!mem_section[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)]) return NULL; :
It happens with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME off. The mem_section definition is
#ifdef CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME extern struct mem_section **mem_section; #else extern struct mem_section mem_section[NR_SECTION_ROOTS][SECTIONS_PER_ROOT]; #endif
In the !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME case, mem_section is a static 2-dimensional array and so the check "!mem_section[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)]" doesn't make sense.
Fix this warning by moving the "!mem_section[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)]" check up inside the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME block and adding an explicit NR_SECTION_ROOTS check to make sure that there is no out-of-bound array access.
