The actual calculation formula in the code below is:
max_size = (count - (size + PAGES_FOR_IO)) / 2 - 2 * DIV_ROUND_UP(reserved_size, PAGE_SIZE);
But function comments are written differently, the comment is wrong?
It is, and it is more serious than just a spelling mistake.
By the way, what exactly do the "/ 2" and "2 *" mean?
Every page in the image is a copy of an existing allocated page, so room needs to be made for the two, except for the "IO pages" and metadata pages that are not copied. Hence, the division by 2.
Now, the "reserved_size" pages will be allocated right before creating the image and there will be a copy of each of them in the image, so there needs to be room for twice as many.
According to your interpretation, the formula should be: max_size = (count - 2 * DIV_ROUND_UP(reserved_size, PAGE_SIZE) - (size + PAGES_FOR_IO)) / 2
Am I right?
No, you aren't.
The formula is fine. I've attempted to explain it to you, but perhaps it's not been clear enough, sorry about that.
