OK, this makes sense.


- iter = round_up(iter + 1, 1<<compound_order(page)) - 1;
+ iter = round_up(iter + 1, 1<<compound_order(head)) - 1;

but this less so. You surely do not want to move by the full hugetlb
page when you got a tail page, right? You could skip too much. You have
to consider page - head into the equation.

Argh, you're quite right.
I will amend it in the next version.
