I think this may be a sparse bug.

Compare:

+++ b/mm/memory.c
@@ -3964,6 +3964,9 @@ vm_fault_t handle_mm_fault(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address,
        if (flags & FAULT_FLAG_USER)
                mem_cgroup_enter_user_fault();
 
+       ret = 0;
+       ret = ({ BUG(); 0; });
+       ret = 1;
        if (unlikely(is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma)))
                ret = hugetlb_fault(vma->vm_mm, vma, address, flags);
        else

../mm/memory.c:3968:13: sparse:    expected restricted vm_fault_t [assigned] [usertype] ret
../mm/memory.c:3968:13: sparse:    got int

../mm/memory.c:3969:13: sparse:    expected restricted vm_fault_t [assigned] [usertype] ret
../mm/memory.c:3969:13: sparse:    got int

vm_fault_t is __bitwise:

include/linux/mm_types.h:typedef __bitwise unsigned int vm_fault_t;

so simply assigning 0 to ret should work (and does on line 3967), but
sparse doesn't seem to like it as part of a ({ .. }) expression.
