[PATCH 07/10] Add page_is_buddy for recent kernels

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On kernels from v2.6.38 and later kernels, buddy page is marked by
_mapcount == PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE, which varies once as follows:

  kernel version    | PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE
  ------------------+--------------------------
  v2.6.38           | -2
  v2.6.39 and later | -128

One more notice is that _mapcount shares its memory with other fields
for SLAB/SLUB when PG_slab is set. Before looking up _mapcount value,
we need to check if PG_slab is set.
