BTW, you can't modify page_cgroup->flags bit without cmpxchg.
Then, patch [5/9] is completely broken, now because new bit is used
with atomic bit ops but without lock_page_cgroup(). (see mmotm)
Why struct page's flags bit can includes zone id etc...is just because
it's initalized before using. Anyway, this is "flags" bit. If you want
to modify multiple bit at once, plz use cmpxchg.
Then, I buy patch [8/9] and just skip this patch.
But, following is more straightforward. (and what you do is not different
from this.)
==
struct page {
.....
#ifdef CONFIG_BLOCKIO_CGROUP
void *blockio_cgroup;
#endif
}
