What does the compiler say (4.5.1 here, OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE off)?

That suggests that your v2 is the worst and your v1 the best.
Kame, can I persuade you to let the compiler decide on this?


Hmm. How about Costa' proposal ? as

int tmp_var = PageActive(page) ? ISOLATE_ACTIVE : ISOLATE_INACTIVE
if (!(mode&  tmp_var))
     ret;

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.

Actually __isolate_lru_page() even little bit bigger
