hugetlb: use page.private for hugetlb specific page flags
Patch series "create hugetlb flags to consolidate state", v3. While discussing a series of hugetlb fixes in [1], it became evident that the hugetlb specific page state information is stored in a somewhat haphazard manner. Code dealing with state information would be easier to read, understand and maintain if this information was stored in a consistent manner. This series uses page.private of the hugetlb head page for storing a set of hugetlb specific page flags. Routines are priovided for test, set and clear of the flags. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210106084739.63318-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com This patch (of 4): 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.
