With gcc version 12.0.1 20220401 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0), building with defconfig results in the following compilation error: | CC mm/swapfile.o | mm/swapfile.c: In function `setup_swap_info': | mm/swapfile.c:2291:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds | of `struct plist_node[]' [-Werror=array-bounds] | 2291 | p->avail_lists[i].prio = 1; | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~ | In file included from mm/swapfile.c:16: | ./include/linux/swap.h:292:27: note: while referencing `avail_lists' | 292 | struct plist_node avail_lists[]; /* | | ^~~~~~~~~~~ This is due to the compiler detecting that the mask in node_states[__state] could theoretically be zero, which would lead to first_node() returning -1 through find_first_bit. I believe that the warning/error is legitimate. I first tried adding a test to check that the node mask is not emtpy, since a similar test exists in the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1. However, adding the if statement causes other warnings to appear in for_each_cpu_node_but, because it introduces a dangling else ambiguity. And unfortunately, GCC is not smart enough to detect that the added test makes the case where (node) == -1 impossible, so it still complains with the same message. This is why I settled on replacing that with a harmless, but relatively useless (node) >= 0 test. Based on the warning for the dangling else, I also decided to fix the case where MAX_NUMNODES == 1 by moving the condition inside the for loop. It will still only be tested once. This ensures that the meaning of an else following for_each_node_mask or derivatives would not silently have a different meaning depending on the configuration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
