BTW, most certainly I did at some point this change:
- if (page_trans_compound_anon_split(page))
+ if (PageTransCompound(page) && page_trans_compound_anon_split(page))
Before doing this change, the "cleaned up" version would have been
broken.
The original idea was to return 1 only in real error condition when a
THP splitting failure was encountered. So it had to be neutral and not
error out if split_huge_page wasn't needed.
In short the cleaned up version of page_trans_compound_anon_split is a
bit less generic but it being a static and only used here I don't mind
too much.
