Why yes, it should. I didn't even notice that that more precise function existed,
thanks for catching that. I've changed it to this for the next version of the
patchset:
static inline int page_ref_sub_return(struct page *page, int nr)
{
int ret = atomic_sub_return(nr, &page->_refcount);
if (page_ref_tracepoint_active(__tracepoint_page_ref_mod))
__page_ref_mod_and_return(page, -nr, ret);
return ret;
}
thanks,
