How about to change this to


nr_reclaimed += hpage_nr_pages(page);
Either is fine to me. Is this faster than "1 << compound_order(page)"?
I think the readability is a little better. And this will become

nr_reclaimed += 1

if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUAGEPAGE is disabled.
I find this more legible and self documenting, and it avoids the bit shift
operation completely on the majority of systems where THP is not configured.

Yes, I do agree. Thanks for the suggestion.
