As Andrew said, functions defined inside class definition should
be inlined by default. If that not happened then adding "inline"
will not help. I was mostly surprise that you add "inline" for
the method which just return a field value.

But if it really helped (you verified the code) then leave it.

I am concern about correctness of your code - page sizes could be different.
I would prefer if your code will be similar to one in is_poll_address().
