[PATCH v1 4/6] mm: Introduce "aerated" pages
From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Wed Jun 19 2019 - 18:38:39 EST
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In order to pave the way for free page hinting in virtualized environments
we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those
pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this patch adds the
concept of an "aerated" flag, which is essentially meant to just be the
Offline page type used in conjustion with the Buddy page type bit.
For now we can just add the basic logic to set the flag and track the
number of aerated pages per free area.
