Hey Naoya,

I can trigger this issue again.

Kernel is latest Linus: v3.12-4849-g10d0c9705e80

Compiler is: gcc (Debian 4.8.1-10) 4.8.1, config is attached.

And yes, the patch you sent me previously is still good and fixes the
warning so feel free to add my Tested-by: tag.

In file included from mm/migrate.c:35:0:
mm/migrate.c: In function ‘do_move_page_to_node_array’:
include/linux/hugetlb.h:140:33: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
 #define isolate_huge_page(p, l) false
                                 ^
mm/migrate.c:1181:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘isolate_huge_page’
    isolate_huge_page(page, &pagelist);
    ^

Thanks.
