Wish you have a good reset :)
Thanks, the headache isn't helping :D

"pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages - 1)" is true if the pageblock is not aligned

E.g., pfn = 1, pageblock_nr_pages = 512

pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages - 1)
-> 1 & (512 - 1)
-> 1 & 511
-> true

"!(pfn & (pageblock_nr_pages - 1))" is true if the pageblock is aligned
-> !(true)
-> false


However, "!pageblock_aligned(1)" = true


+ } else if (!page || !pageblock_aligned(pfn)) {
pageblock_aligned(pfn) IS_ALIGNED((unsigned long)(pfn), pageblock_nr_pages)

#define IS_ALIGNED(x, a) (((x) & ((typeof(x))(a) - 1)) == 0) (((pfn) &
(pageblock_nr_pages - 1)) == 0) -> ((1 & 512 -1) == 0) -> ((1 & 511) ==
0) -> ((511) == 0) -> false
right ?
yes ... and inverting that would give you "true", which is not what we want?

oops...  it's my fault, looks like I need to have a reset to save my brain...
Again, sorry if I'm wrong ...
