Subject: [PATCH v1] mm: make __GFP_BITS_SHIFT independent of CONFIG_LOCKDEP
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 17:32:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230918153241.2942764-1-glider@google.com> (raw)
The list of GFP flags is sparse already (see 0x200u and flags defined
based on CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS), so it makes little sense to save one
bit at the end of it if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is undefined.
The dependence of __GFP_BITS_SHIFT on CONFIG_LOCKDEP also does not let us
add new flags after ___GFP_NOLOCKDEP.
Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com>

An alternative to this patch would be putting all ___GFP_ flags into
enum, so that we they occupy as few bits as possible.
My understanding is that this is doable, because tools/perf/builtin-kmem.c
does not depend on the flag values, but maybe I am missing something?
