So after the conditional adjustment above, I fail to see where
d->tot_pages would get adjusted in the code below. Which gets
me to ask ...

...: Is there actually a strong reason why there needs to be an
"increase" and a "decrease" version of this, rather than just
having an "adjust" operation with a signed page count
parameter?
