Indentation is weird here. When splitting a line, put the operator at
the end, and then indent the rest by something *other* than a single
tab, so it doesn't look like it's part of the following statement. ie
either:

if (file >> sc->priority && (!(sc->may_deactivate & DEACTIVATE_FILE) ||
inactive_is_high(target_lruvec, LRU_INACTIVE_FILE)))

or:

if (file >> sc->priority && (!(sc->may_deactivate & DEACTIVATE_FILE) ||
inactive_is_high(target_lruvec, LRU_INACTIVE_FILE)))

Some people like to use the indentation to illustrate the precendence.
That would look like this:

if (file >> sc->priority &&
(!(sc->may_deactivate & DEACTIVATE_FILE) ||
inactive_is_high(target_lruvec, LRU_INACTIVE_FILE)))

(I have a mild preference for the third option in this instance)
