Would this work? Pid doesn't seem like the best idea, since you also need to represent page cache, and page cache files do not have a PID. You also need to remember whether the page was on the "frequency" or "recency" list. 64 bits should indeed be enough for all of this ;) -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
