I didn't sleep too well this night and am tired, please tell me why I'm
wrong :)


"pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages - 1)" is true if the pageblock is not aligned

E.g., pfn = 1, pageblock_nr_pages = 512

pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages - 1)
-> 1 & (512 - 1)
-> 1 & 511
-> true

"!(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages - 1))" is true if the pageblock is aligned
-> !(true)
-> false


However, "!pageblock_aligned(1)" = true

So shouldn't this be "pageblock_aligned(pfn)"


?
