No need to return the length at all, simply change compact_nodes() to
return void, remove the return value, and do

if (write)
compact_nodes();
return 0;

and it should be fixed. Could you write a changelog that shows the before
and after behavior (not necessarily the implementation), sign-off the
patch as described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches, running
scripts/get_maintainer.pl on your new patch file, and sending it to
all addresses that are listed?
