I think all we have to do is set a low bit in page->mappingIt's already in use to say page->mapping is anon_vma. ;)
I weasel-worded that by not saying *THE* low bit. ;) We find *some* discriminator whether it be a page flag or an actual bit in page->mapping, or a magic value that doesn't collide with the existing PAGE_MAPPING_* flags. Poor 'struct page'. It's the doormat of data structures. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
