mm: Fix PageHead when !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED

2013-06-10T09:42:29Z

commit ad4b3fb7ff9940bcdb1e4cd62bd189d10fa636ba upstream. Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and (PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic. This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages. [ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr 2008 in commit 6a1e7f777f61: "pageflags: convert to the use of new macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead() tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall Acked-by: Andrea Arcangeli Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Steve Capper Cc: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau

mm: return boolean from page_has_private()

2009-09-22T14:17:38Z

Make page_has_private() return a true boolean value and remove the double negations from the two callsites using it for arithmetic.

mm: perform non-atomic test-clear of PG_mlocked on free

2009-09-22T14:17:30Z

By the time PG_mlocked is cleared in the page freeing path, nobody else is looking at our page->flags anymore. It is thus safe to make the test-and-clear non-atomic and thereby removing an unnecessary and expensive operation from a hotpath.

HWPOISON: Add page flag for poisoned pages

2009-09-16T09:50:03Z

Hardware poisoned pages need special handling in the VM and shouldn't be touched again. This requires a new page flag. Define it here. The page flags wars seem to be over, so it shouldn't be a problem to get a new one. v2: Add TestSetHWPoison (suggested by Johannes Weiner) Acked-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

x86, pat: Generalize the use of page flag PG_uncached

2009-08-26T22:41:22Z

Only IA64 was using PG_uncached as of now. We now intend to use this bit in x86 as well, to keep track of memory type of those addresses that have page struct for them. So, generalize the use of that bit across ia64 and x86. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

FS-Cache: Recruit a page flags for cache management

2009-04-03T15:42:36Z

Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is defined: (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2) The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the cache driver. If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation. The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.
