[PATCH 7/7] KVM: arm64: Use less bits for hyp_page refcount

From: Quentin Perret <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-27 12:52:09
Also in: kvmarm, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

The hyp_page refcount is currently encoded on 4 bytes even though we
never need to count that many objects in a page. Make it 2 bytes to save
some space in the vmemmap.

As overflows are more likely to happen as well, make sure to catch those
with a BUG in the increment function.
