Subject: mm: document zone device struct page field usage
Patch series "mm/hmm: fixes for device private page migration", v3.
Testing the latest linux git tree turned up a few bugs with page migration
to and from ZONE_DEVICE private and anonymous pages. Hopefully it
clarifies how ZONE_DEVICE private struct page uses the same mapping and
index fields from the source anonymous page mapping.
This patch (of 3):
Struct page for ZONE_DEVICE private pages uses the page->mapping and and
page->index fields while the source anonymous pages are migrated to device
private memory. This is so rmap_walk() can find the page when migrating
the ZONE_DEVICE private page back to system memory. ZONE_DEVICE pmem
backed fsdax pages also use the page->mapping and page->index fields when
files are mapped into a process address space.
Add comments to struct page and remove the unused "_zd_pad_1" field to
make this more clear.
