Fair enough.
I will add description like this.

/*
* Return false if page table scanning in rmap_walk should be stopped.
* Otherwise, return true.
*/
bool (*rmap_one)(struct page *page, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
unsigned long addr, void *arg);


I will wait by noon tomorrow and if there are no further comment,
I will resend v2.

Thanks.
