[PATCH v2 2/5] mm: Move PG_writeback into the bottom byte

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

 



From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

By placing PG_writeback in the bottom byte along with PG_locked and
PG_waiters, we will be able to use the same optimisation as PG_locked
in a subsequent patch.  Add BUILD_BUGs to ensure that all three bits
stay in the bottom byte.
