Although it's not a problem to keep it, it makes future users confused to use dobule negation for them, too. Remove such possibility. [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=148881578820434 Frankly sepaking, I like every PageFlags return bool instead of int. It will make it clear. AFAIR, Chen Gang had tried it but don't know why it was not merged at that time. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1469336184-1904-1-git-send-email-chengang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1488868597-32222-1-git-send-email-minchan@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Kirill A.
