kpageflags reads page-flags directly from the page, even when the
respective flag is only updated on the headpage of a folio.

Since most flags are stored in head flags, make k = folio->flags,
and add new p = page->flags used for per-page flags.

You'd do better to steal Greg's commit message.

Sure

This is correct.

This is not.  PG_private is not, I believe, set on tail pages.
Ditto the other two.  If you know differently ... ?

k = folio->flags, p = page->flags
as PG_private/private_2/owner_priv_1 use PF_ANY page policy,
so they should per-page check, confused...

See checked page flags,

PG_error        PF_NO_TAIL
PG_dirty        PF_HEAD
PG_uptodate     PF_NO_TAIL
PG_writeback    PF_NO_TAIL
PG_lru          PF_HEAD
PG_referenced 	PF_HEAD
PG_active       PF_HEAD
PG_reclaim      PF_NO_TAIL
PG_swapbacked   PF_NO_TAIL
PG_unevictable  PF_HEAD
PG_mlocked      PF_NO_TAIL
PG_hwpoison     PF_ANY
PG_uncached     PF_NO_COMPOUND	
PG_reserved     PF_NO_COMPOUND
PG_mappedtodisk PF_NO_TAIL
PG_private      PF_ANY
PG_private_2    PF_ANY
PG_owner_priv_1 PF_ANY

above part has 4 types,

1) PF_HEAD        - should use k

2) PF_ANY         - should use p

3) PF_NO_TAIL
   - PageXXX will check head page flags, so suppose to use k,
     but here use bit check, I wonder it should use p?

4) PF_NO_COMPOUND
  - should per-page check

-	u |= kpf_copy_bit(k, KPF_ARCH_2,	PG_arch_2);
-	u |= kpf_copy_bit(k, KPF_ARCH_3,	PG_arch_3);
+	u |= kpf_copy_bit(p, KPF_ARCH_2,	PG_arch_2);
+	u |= kpf_copy_bit(p, KPF_ARCH_3,	PG_arch_3);
  #endif

I also don't think this is correct, but there are many uses of
PG_arch* and I may have missed something.


And 3 arch page flags,

PG_arch_1
 - PG_dcache_clean, from achetlb.rst, I think it is per-folio, use k
	
PG_arch_2
 - only arm64 mte, PG_mte_tagged
PG_arch_3
 - only arm64 mte, PG_mte_lock

the two PG_arch only used by arm64 mte, they are per-page flag, use p

Correct me if I am wrong, thanks.
