I think a lot of the complexity in this patch is from pagevec_lookup_tag giving you subpages rather than head pages...

you'd still need this line, but it'd only be: done_index = page->index + (1 << compound_order(page)); I think we want: #define nr_pages(page) (1 << compound_order(page)) because we seem to be repeating that idiom quite a lot in these patches. done_index = page->index + nr_pages(page); Still doesn't quite fit on one line, but it's closer, and it's the ridiculous indentation in that function that's the real problem. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
