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.
