From 8c56c5dbcf52220cc9be7a36e7f21ebd5939e0b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Hildenbrand Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 10:59:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mm: (un)track_pfn_copy() fix + doc improvements We got a late smatch warning and some additional review feedback. smatch warnings: mm/memory.c:1428 copy_page_range() error: uninitialized symbol 'pfn'. We actually use the pfn only when it is properly initialized; however, we may pass an uninitialized value to a function -- although it will not use it that likely still is UB in C. So let's just fix it by always initializing pfn in the caller of track_pfn_copy(), and improving the documentation of track_pfn_copy(). While at it, clarify the doc of untrack_pfn_copy(), that internal checks make sure if we actually have to untrack anything.
