If the size of `struct page` is not power of 2, then those lines added by this patch will be optimized away by the compiler, therefore there is going to be no extra overhead to detect this. > > Can you try to add kconfig magic to detect if a PAGE_SIZE is PO2? > I agree with you that it is better if we can move this check into Kconfig. I tried this a few months ago. It is not easy to do this. How to check if a `struct page size` is PO2 in Kconfig? If you have any thoughts please let me know. Thanks.
