Clang warns:

2 errors generated.

Rework the 'if (IS_ENABLE(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE))' so hstart/hend
always gets initialized, this will silence the warnings. That will also
simplify the 'else' path. Clang is getting confused with these warnings,
but the warnings is a false-positive.

This note often is bad advice: hiding problems instead of investigating
and solving them. Bah.

If silencing warnings is your goal, look no further than "-w" :-)

If it is, please report that bug to clang? It says "*is* uninitialized
when used here", there can not be false positives to statements like
that. If the analysis was heutistical it should say "may be" or such.

Which version & config are you building?

I don't see this warning in my test builds.

clang-13, clang-14 and clang-nightly, configs are cell_defconfig and
maple_defconfig

I'm building with tuxmake [1] like this:
$ tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch powerpc --toolchain clang-14
--kconfig cell_defconfig

Cheers,
Anders
