hpage_nr_pages(page) is:

static inline int hpage_nr_pages(struct page *page)
{
         if (unlikely(PageTransHuge(page)))
                 return HPAGE_PMD_NR;
         return 1;
}

and later...

  		/*

  		 */
-		if (PageTransHuge(page))
+		if (compound) {
+			VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageTransHuge(page), page);

this means that we could assume that
(compound == true) => (PageTransHuge(page) == true)

and simplify above to:

int nr = compound ? HPAGE_PMD_NR : 1;

Right?

No. HPAGE_PMD_NR is defined based on HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT which is BUILD_BUG()
without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. We will get compiler error without
the helper.

Oh, OK. But that doesn't mean there couldn't be another helper that would work in this case, or even open-coded #ifdefs in these functions. Apparently "compound" has to be always false for !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, as in that case PageTransHuge is defined as 0 and the VM_BUG_ON would trigger if compound was true. So without such ifdefs or wrappers, you are also adding dead code and pointless tests for !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE?
