Yes, that would have been a good compromise (given a better name
than "tmp_var"!), I didn't realize that one was acceptable to you.

But I see that Konstantin has been inspired by our disagreement to a
more creative solution.

I like very much the look of what he's come up with, but I'm still
puzzling over why it barely makes any improvement to __isolate_lru_page():
seems significantly inferior (in code size terms) to his original (which
I imagine Glauber's compromise would be equivalent to).

At some point I ought to give up on niggling about this,
but I haven't quite got there yet.
