[PATCH] mm: use BITS_PER_LONG to unify the definition in page->flags

From: Wei Yang
Date: Fri Mar 17 2017 - 20:48:20 EST


The field page->flags is defined as unsigned long and is divided into
several parts to store different information of the page, like section,
node, zone. Which means all parts must sit in the one "unsigned
long".

BITS_PER_LONG is used in several places to ensure this applies.

#if SECTIONS_WIDTH+NODES_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH > BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS
#if SECTIONS_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH+NODES_SHIFT <= BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS
#if SECTIONS_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH+NODES_SHIFT+LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT <= BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS

While we use "sizeof(unsigned long) * 8" in the definition of
SECTIONS_PGOFF

#define SECTIONS_PGOFF ((sizeof(unsigned long)*8) - SECTIONS_WIDTH)

This may not be that obvious for audience to catch the point.

This patch replaces the "sizeof(unsigned long) * 8" with BITS_PER_LONG to
make all this consistent.
