Subject: [PATCH v4 00/16] Rearrange struct page
Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2018 13:22:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180430202247.25220-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

As presented at LSFMM last week, this patch-set rearranges struct page
to give more usable space to users who have allocated a struct page for
their own purposes.  For a graphical view of before-and-after, see the first
two tabs of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvCszs_7FXrjei9_mtFiKV6nW1FLnYyvPvW-qNZhdog/edit?usp=sharing

Highlights:
 - slub's counters no longer share space with _refcount.
 - slub's freelist+counters are now naturally dword aligned.
 - It's now more obvious what fields in struct page are used by which
   owners (some owners still take advantage of the union aliasing).
 - deferred_list now really exists in struct page instead of just a
   comment.
 - slub loses a parameter to a lot of functions.
 - Several hidden uses of struct page are now documented in code.

Changes v3 -> v4:

 - Added acks/reviews from Kirill & Randy
 - Removed call to page_mapcount_reset from slub since it no longer uses
   mapcount union.
 - Add pt_mm and hmm_data to struct page

Matthew Wilcox (16):

  mm: Split page_type out from _mapcount
