There is a possibility that get_page_bootmem() is called to the same page many
times. So when get_page_bootmem is called to the same page, the function only
increments page->_count.

I really don't understand this explanation, even after having looked at
the code.  Can you please have another attempt at the changelog?

And a code comment which explains what is going on would be good.  As
is always the case ;)

What is the problem that you want to fix? The function get_page_bootmem()
may be called to the same page more than once, but I don't find any problem
about current implementation.

Thanks

The patch is just optimization. The patch does not fix a problems.
As you know, the function may be called many times for the same page.
I think if a page is sets to page_type and Page Private flag and page->private,
the page need not be set the same things again. So we check page_type when
get_page_bootmem() is called. And if the page has been set to them, the page
is only incremented page->_count.

Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
