[PATCH 45 of 66] remove PG_buddy

Andrea Arcangeli
2010-11-03T15:37:46Z

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>

PG_buddy can be converted to _mapcount == -2. So the PG_compound_lock can be
added to page->flags without overflowing (because of the sparse section bits
increasing) with CONFIG_X86_PAE=y and CONFIG_X86_PAT=y. This also has to move
the memory hotplug code from _mapcount to lru.next to avoid any risk of
clashes. We can't use lru.next for PG_buddy removal, but memory hotplug can use
lru.next even more easily than the mapcount instead.
