[PATCH v9 rebase on mm-unstable 6/8] mm: buddy: make room for a new variable, mgen, in struct page

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Thu Apr 18 2024 - 02:17:10 EST


Functionally, no change. This is a preparation for migrc mechanism that
tracks need of tlb flush for each page residing in buddy, using a
generation number in struct page.

Fortunately, since the private field in struct page is used only to
store page order in buddy, ranging from 0 to MAX_PAGE_ORDER, that can be
covered with unsigned short int. So splitted it into two smaller ones,
order and mgen, so that the both can be used in buddy at the same time.
