  • Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86: fix preemptable page type handling (v2)

Why does this patch not do what the new comment says and directly get_page()
when PGT_partial is set and put_page() when PGT_partial is cleared? Doing
get_page() across all __put_page() operations and then skipping the
put_page() in some cases, for example, seems inefficient and also makes the
code less clear. Why would you do it that way?
