So all places where used to have PageAnon() didn't requre change, but other places for new code we have some thing like (PageAnon() && !PageKsm()) check, or do checking in correct sequence. One thing I am not quite sure is about couting of anonymous page, in case page is KSM or !KSM, hope those old codes has been correctly handled. >> >> - Xinhai >> > > >-- > >Thanks, > >David / dhildenb >

I am not really sure I understand what do you like to achieve here. Yes there are different checks representing different classes of pages. In this particular case the ordering of the check was just wrong. That is trivial to be fixed. PageAnon works as intented AFAIK. If that is not the case then please be explicit why.

PageAnon works as intented AFAIK. If that is not >the case then please be explicit why. I was thinking about make changes so to using PageAnon() for Anonymous&!KSM and PageKsm() for Anonymous&KSM, then don't require consider sequence. Now, I realized that PageAnon() is intended for cover KSM and !KSM cases and it seems no big benefits to change the semantics of PageAnon(). >-- >Michal Hocko >SUSE Labs

PageAnon() just checking on PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit would cause page, with PageKsm as true, been wrongly considered as PageAnon. Now, checking the whole PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS to avoid this error.
