From: Christoph Lameter Subject: Compound Pages: Stricter check in follow_huge_addr The first page of the compound page is determined in follow_huge_addr() but then PageCompound() only checks if the page is part of a compound page. PageHead() allows checking if this is the first page of the compound.
