[PATCH v11 05/12] mm: buddy: make room for a new variable, ugen, in struct page

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Fri May 31 2024 - 05:21:24 EST


Functionally, no change. This is a preparation for luf 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 ugen, so that the both can be used in buddy at the same time.
