Oops I forgot moving the variable declaration would cause a warning.
Will send a V2.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: mm: Fix dead assignment of old_pte

When analyzed with the clang static analyzer the
following warning occurs

line 251, column 2
Value stored to 'old_pte' is never read

This warning is repeated every time pgtable.h is
included by another file and produces ~3500
extra warnings.

Moving old_pte into preprocessor guard.

I'm wondering if it is a case for __maybe_unused?

Something like:

- pte_t old_pte;
+ pte_t __maybe_unused old_pte;

Does this warning actually trigger with linux-next?

As Will asked, does this also trigger in linux-next?

I rewrote this code to avoid to only perform the READ_ONCE() when we'd
use the value, and IIUC that may be sufficient to avoid the warning:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/commit/?h=for-next/core&id=9b604722059039a1a3ff69fb8dfd024264046024

Thanks,
Mark.

Warning is not triggered in next. Looks like this patch is unnecessary.
