Subject: [PATCH RFC 12/19] mm: encode freetype flags in pageblock flags
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:34:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-page_alloc-unmapped-v1-12-e8808a03cd66@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225-page_alloc-unmapped-v1-0-e8808a03cd66@google.com>
In preparation for implementing allocation from FREETYPE_UNMAPPED lists.
Since it works nicely with the existing allocator logic, and also offers
a simple way to amortize TLB flushing costs, __GFP_UNMAPPED will be
implemented by changing mappings at pageblock granularity. Therefore,
encode the mapping state in the pageblock flags.
Also add the necessary logic to record this from a freetype, and
reconstruct a freetype from the pageblock flags.
