[PATCH v3 1/5] hugetlb: use page.private for hugetlb specific page flags

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Fri Jan 22 2021 - 17:26:13 EST


As hugetlbfs evolved, state information about hugetlb pages was added.
One 'convenient' way of doing this was to use available fields in tail
pages. Over time, it has become difficult to know the meaning or contents
of fields simply by looking at a small bit of code. Sometimes, the
naming is just confusing. For example: The PagePrivate flag indicates
a huge page reservation was consumed and needs to be restored if an error
is encountered and the page is freed before it is instantiated. The
page.private field contains the pointer to a subpool if the page is
associated with one.

In an effort to make the code more readable, use page.private to contain
hugetlb specific page flags. These flags will have test, set and clear
functions similar to those used for 'normal' page flags. More importantly,
an enum of flag values will be created with names that actually reflect
their purpose.

In this patch,
- Create infrastructure for hugetlb specific page flag functions
- Move subpool pointer to page[1].private to make way for flags
Create routines with meaningful names to modify subpool field
- Use new HPageRestoreReserve flag instead of PagePrivate

Conversion of other state information will happen in subsequent patches.
