kbuild produces the below warning: tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master head:5453a3df2acommit3d3539018d("mm: create the new vm_fault_t type") reproduce: # apt-get install sparse git checkout3d3539018dmake ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig make C=1 CF='-fdiagnostic-prefix -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__' >> mm/memory.c:3968:21: sparse: incorrect type in assignment (different >> base types) @@ expected restricted vm_fault_t [usertype] ret @@ >> got e] ret @@ mm/memory.c:3968:21: expected restricted vm_fault_t [usertype] ret mm/memory.c:3968:21: got int This patch converts to return vm_fault_t type for hugetlb_fault() when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=n. Regarding the sparse warning, Luc said: : This is the expected behaviour. The constant 0 is magic regarding bitwise : types but ({ ...; 0; }) is not, it is just an ordinary expression of type : 'int'. : : So, IMHO, Souptick's patch is the right thing to do.

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.
