During split huge page, it checks the property of the page. Currently we do the check on page and head without emphasizing the check is on the compound page. In case the page passed to split_huge_page_to_list is a tail page, audience would take some time to think about whether the check is on compound page or tail page itself. To make it explicit, use head instead of page for those checks. After this, audience would be more clear about the checks are on compound page and the page is used to do the split and dump error message if failed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
