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?

By the way, what exactly do the "/ 2" and "2 *" mean?

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.
