I find naming misleading. head_mapcount() and head_pincount() sounds like a mapcount/pincount of the head page, but it's not. It's mapcount and pincount of the compound page. Maybe compound_mapcount_head() and compound_pincoun_head()? Or __compound_mapcount() and __compound_pincount(). > For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but > this is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's > a good trade-off. > > Reported-by: Qian Cai <c...@lca.pw> > Suggested-by: Matthew Wilcox <wi...@infradead.org> > Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vba...@suse.cz> > Cc: Kirill A.
