[PATCH] mm: fix maybe-uninitialized warning in section_deactivate()

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Jan 23 2017 - 11:52:26 EST


gcc cannot track the combined state of the 'mask' variable across the
barrier in pgdat_resize_unlock() at compile time, so it warns that we
can run into undefined behavior:

mm/sparse.c: In function 'section_deactivate':
mm/sparse.c:802:7: error: 'early_section' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

We know that this can't happen because the spin_unlock() doesn't
affect the mask variable, so this is a false-postive warning, but
rearranging the code to bail out earlier here makes it obvious
to the compiler as well.

Fixes: mmotm ("mm: support section-unaligned ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges")
