[PATCH v5 00/17] Rearrange struct page

[Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>]

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

As presented at LSFMM, this patch-set rearranges struct page to give
more contiguous usable space to users who have allocated a struct page
for their own purposes.  For a graphical view of before-and-after, see
the first two tabs of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvCszs_7FXrjei9_mtFiKV6nW1FLnYyvPvW-qNZhdog/edit?usp=sharing

Highlights:
 - slub's counters no longer share space with _refcount.
 - slub's freelist+counters are now naturally dword aligned.
 - It's now more obvious what fields in struct page are used by which
   owners (some owners still take advantage of the union aliasing).
 - deferred_list now really exists in struct page instead of just a
   comment.
 - slub loses a parameter to a lot of functions.
 - Several hidden uses of struct page are now documented in code.

Changes in v5:
 - Added acks from Christoph Lameter
 - Dropped patch to make slub use page->private instead of page->counters.
 - Combined slab/slob/slub into one union in struct page.
 - Added patch to distinguish VMalloc pages.
 - Added patch to remove slub's 'reserved' file in sysfs.
 - Call the unions 'main union' and 'mapcount union' instead of 'first
   union' and 'second union'.
 - Removed a line which described which double-word slub's freelist was in.

Changes in v4:
 - Added acks/reviews from Kirill & Randy
 - Removed call to page_mapcount_reset from slub since it no longer uses
   mapcount union.
 - Add pt_mm and hmm_data to struct page
