As I am not the original author of this patch, I am interpreting the
original intent. I think xpfo_page_is_unmapped() was added to account
for kernel build without CONFIG_XPFO. xpfo_page_is_unmapped() has an
alternate definition to return false if CONFIG_XPFO is not defined.
xpfo_is_unmapped() is cleaned up further in patch 11 ("xpfo, mm: remove
dependency on CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION") to a one-liner "return
PageXpfoUnmapped(page);". xpfo_is_unmapped() can be eliminated entirely
by adding an else clause to the following code added by that patch:

--- a/include/linux/page-flags.h
+++ b/include/linux/page-flags.h
@@ -398,6 +402,15 @@ TESTCLEARFLAG(Young, young, PF_ANY)

 /*
  * On an anonymous page mapped into a user virtual memory area,
  * page->mapping points to its anon_vma, not to a struct address_space;


Adding the following #else to above conditional:

#else
TESTPAGEFLAG_FALSE(XpfoUser)
TESTPAGEFLAG_FALSE(XpfoUnmapped)

should allow us to eliminate xpfo_is_unmapped(). Right?

Thanks,
Khalid
