What? We already have that pattern inside is_longterm_pinnable_page(),
so that's really strange.
But regardless, please don't duplicate that odd conditional for no
reason, and don't scream.
So regardless of where it is, make that "is_zero_folio()" just do
"is_zero_page(&folio->page)" rather than repeat the question.
I also wonder whether we shouldn't just use the "transparent union"
argument thing more aggressively. Something like
typedef union {
struct page *page;
struct folio *folio;
} page_or_folio_t __attribute__ ((__transparent_union__));
and then you should be able to do something like this:
static inline bool is_zero_page(const page_or_folio_t arg)
{
return is_zero_pfn(page_to_pfn(arg.page));
}
and we don't have to keep generating the two versions over and over
and over again.
