Rework the if-else to pull the 'IS_ENABLE(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE)'
check one level up, this will silent the warnings. That will also
simplify the 'else' path. Clang is getting confused with these warnings,
but the warnings is a false-positive.

But you are duplicating a significant part of the code by doing that,
and duplicated code generaly leads to bugs.
And we already have redundant stuff between FLUSH_TYPE_LOCAL leg and
cputlb_use_tlbie() leg.
Can't you fix CLANG instead :) ?
Or just add an else to the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) that
sets hstart and hend to 0 ?
Or just put hstart and hend calculation outside the IS_ENABLED() ? After
all GCC should drop the calculation when not used.

That doesn't sound any less risky than duplicating the code, it can lead to
incorrect changes just as easily if a patch ends up actually flushing at the
wrong address, and the compiler fails to complain because of the bogus
initialization.

I like this one. I'm still unsure how clang can get so confused about whether
the variables are initialized or not, usually it handles this much better than
gcc. My best guess is that one of the memory clobbers makes it conclude
that 'hflush' can be true when it gets written to by an inline asm.

As far as I am aware, clang's analysis does not evaluate variables when
generating a control flow graph and using that for static analysis:
https://godbolt.org/z/PdGxoq9j7
Based on the control flow graph, it knows that hstart and hend are
uninitialized because IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) gets
expanded to 0 by the preprocessor but it does not seem like it can piece
together that hflush's value of false is only changed to true under the
now 'if (0) {' branch, meaning that all the calls to __tlbiel_va_range()
never get evaluated. That may or may not be easy to fix in clang but we
run into issues like this so infrequently.
At any rate, the below diff works for me.
Cheers,
Nathan

Yes I like that much better.
Maybe even better with
hflush = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) && hstart < hend;
(And remove default false value at declaration).
if (type == FLUSH_TYPE_LOCAL) {
asm volatile("ptesync": : :"memory");
