Yeah, you are right, I managed to confuse myself.
But why not make it return null, something like:
static pgtable_t vmemmap_pgtable_withdraw(struct page *page)
{
pgtable_t pgtable;
/* FIFO */
pgtable = page_huge_pte(page);
page_huge_pte(page) = list_first_entry_or_null(&pgtable->lru,
struct page, lru);
if (page_huge_pte(page))
list_del(&pgtable->lru);
return page_huge_pte(page) ? pgtable : NULL;
}
What do you think?
