Also we've deleted page->compound_order in -next so you can't make this mistake. Using __GFP_COMP will set this field for you, so you can just drop this line. > - remaining_size -= len; > + for (o = 0; o < 1U << order; o++) { > + unsigned len = min((unsigned)PAGE_SIZE, remaining_size); > + bio_add_page(clone, page, len, 0); > + remaining_size -= len; > + page++; You can add multiple pages at once, whether they're compound or not.
