Hi Matthew Wilcox ,
The code means set counter's value to the max max_reserved and counter.
Then, the if condition will choose a large one, and in the function, the counter
is increased. so this code won't change the function of iunique().

That's not true.

'counter' is incremented here, so if it wraps around, we'll blunder into
the reserved space again.
