Can't really say that I'm happy with this, but if mm-folks are
fine then okay.
I have an idea ...
We use 6 of the bits in the top byte of the page_type to enumerate
a type (ie value 0x80-0xbf) and then the remaining 24 bits are
available. It's actually more efficient:
$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter prev.o .build-debian/mm/filemap.o
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-40 (-40)
Function old new delta
__filemap_add_folio 1102 1098 -4
filemap_unaccount_folio 455 446 -9
replace_page_cache_folio 474 447 -27
Total: Before=41258, After=41218, chg -0.10%
(that's all from PG_hugetlb)
before:
1406: 8b 46 30 mov 0x30(%rsi),%eax
mapcount = atomic_read(&folio->_mapcount) + 1;
1409: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax
if (mapcount < PAGE_MAPCOUNT_RESERVE + 1)
140c: 83 f8 81 cmp $0xffffff81,%eax
140f: 7d 6c jge 147d <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x8d>
1411: 8b 43 30 mov 0x30(%rbx),%eax
1414: 25 00 08 00 f0 and $0xf0000800,%eax
1419: 3d 00 00 00 f0 cmp $0xf0000000,%eax
141e: 74 4e je 146e <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x7e>
after:
1406: 8b 46 30 mov 0x30(%rsi),%eax
mapcount = atomic_read(&folio->_mapcount) + 1;
1409: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax
if (mapcount < PAGE_MAPCOUNT_RESERVE + 1)
140c: 83 f8 81 cmp $0xffffff81,%eax
140f: 7d 63 jge 1474 <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x8
4>
if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio))
1411: 80 7b 33 84 cmpb $0x84,0x33(%rbx)
1415: 74 4e je 1465 <filemap_unaccount_folio+0x75>
so we go from "mov, and, cmp, je" to just "cmpb, je", which must surely
be faster to execute as well as being more compact in the I$ (6 bytes vs 15).
Anyway, not tested but this is the patch I used to generate the above.
More for comment than application.
Right, it's likely very similar to my previous proposal to use 8 bit
(uint8_t) for the type.

I would prefer if we would do that separately; unless someone is able to
raise why we care about zram + 256KiB that much right now. (claim: we don't)
