Same as for break_ksm() I think we should be able to drop the
is_zone_device_page() check here because scan_get_next_rmap_item()
already filters out zone device pages.

Can we remove the multiple layers of conditionals here? Something like
this is cleaner and easier to understand IMHO:

- if (page && !is_zone_device_page(page)) {
- err = page_to_nid(page);
- if (foll_flags & FOLL_GET)
- put_page(page);
- } else {
+ if (!page) {
err = -ENOENT;
+ goto set_status;
}
+
+ if (is_zone_device_page(page))
+ err = -ENOENT;
+ else
+ err = page_to_nid_page(page);
+
+ if (foll_flags & FOLL_GET)
+ put_page(page);

Thanks.
