Hugh Dickins dad6a5eb55 mm,hugetlb: use folio fields in second tail page
Patch series "mm,huge,rmap: unify and speed up compound mapcounts".


This patch (of 3):

We want to declare one more int in the first tail of a compound page: that
first tail page being valuable property, since every compound page has a
first tail, but perhaps no more than that.

No problem on 64-bit: there is already space for it.  No problem with
32-bit THPs: 5.18 commit 5232c63f46 ("mm: Make compound_pincount always
available") kindly cleared the space for it, apparently not realizing that
only 64-bit architectures enable CONFIG_THP_SWAP (whose use of tail
page->private might conflict) - but make sure of that in its Kconfig.

But hugetlb pages use tail page->private of the first tail page for a
subpool pointer, which will conflict; and they also use page->private of
the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tails.

Undo "mm: add private field of first tail to struct page and struct
folio"'s recent addition of private_1 to the folio tail: instead add
hugetlb_subpool, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb_cgroup_rsvd, hugetlb_hwpoison to
a second tail page of the folio: THP has long been using several fields of
that tail, so make better use of it for hugetlb too.  This is not how a
generic folio should be declared in future, but it is an effective
transitional way to make use of it.

Delete the SUBPAGE_INDEX stuff, but keep __NR_USED_SUBPAGE: now 3.

[hughd@google.com: prefix folio's page_1 and page_2 with double underscore,
  give folio's _flags_2 and _head_2 a line documentation each]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
