This just undoes the optimisation.
We could do
- if (!TestSetPageDirty(page))
- return 1;
+ return !TestSetPageDirty(page);
I suppose.
Or even
return (!TestSetPageDirty(page) ^ 1);
if we're feeling stupid, and if TestSetPageDirty() reliably returns
1/0, and if that really is superior (by eliminating a test-n-branch).
