Here will generate a compilation warning,

mm/hugetlb.c: In function 'cmdline_parse_hugetlb_cma':
mm/hugetlb.c:5548:21: warning: variable 'val' set but not used [-Wunused-but-
set-variable]
  unsigned long long val;
                     ^~~
Also, the comments for simple_strtoull() in lib/vsprintf.c said,

"This function is obsolete. Please use kstrtoull instead."
