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.
