[PATCH] fix mmap uninitialized warnings

[Jaswinder Singh]

Hello all,

I am surprise why no body is solving these mmap warnings :-

mm/mmap.c: In function ‘insert_vm_struct’:
mm/mmap.c:2085: warning: ‘rb_parent’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:2085: warning: ‘rb_link’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:2084: warning: ‘prev’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c: In function ‘copy_vma’:
mm/mmap.c:2124: warning: ‘rb_parent’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:2124: warning: ‘rb_link’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:2123: warning: ‘prev’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c: In function ‘do_brk’:
mm/mmap.c:1951: warning: ‘rb_parent’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:1951: warning: ‘rb_link’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:1949: warning: ‘prev’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c: In function ‘mmap_region’:
mm/mmap.c:1092: warning: ‘rb_parent’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:1092: warning: ‘rb_link’ may be used uninitialized in this
function
mm/mmap.c:1089: warning: ‘prev’ may be used uninitialized in this
function

here is the patch to solve above warnings.

Please let me know your views about this patch or what is the best
option to remove these warnings.

Thank you,

Jaswinder Singh.
