Currently there is one 'struct page_frag' for every 'struct
sock' and 'struct task_struct', we are about to replace the
'struct page_frag' with 'struct page_frag_cache' for them.
Before begin the replacing, we need to ensure the size of
'struct page_frag_cache' is not bigger than the size of
'struct page_frag', as there may be tens of thousands of
'struct sock' and 'struct task_struct' instances in the
system.

By or'ing the page order & pfmemalloc with lower bits of
'va' instead of using 'u16' or 'u32' for page size and 'u8'
for pfmemalloc, we are able to avoid 3 or 5 bytes space waste.
And page address & pfmemalloc & order is unchanged for the
same page in the same 'page_frag_cache' instance, it makes
sense to fit them together.

After this patch, the size of 'struct page_frag_cache' should be
the same as the size of 'struct page_frag'.

 void page_frag_cache_drain(struct page_frag_cache *nc);

So how many of these additions are actually needed outside of the
page_frag_cache.c file? I'm just wondering if we could look at moving

At least page_frag_cache_is_pfmemalloc(), page_frag_encoded_page_order(),
page_frag_encoded_page_ptr(), page_frag_encoded_page_address() are needed
out of the page_frag_cache.c file for now, which are used mostly in
__page_frag_cache_commit() and __page_frag_alloc_refill_probe_align() for
debugging and performance reason, see patch 7 & 10.

As far as the __page_frag_cache_commit I might say that could be moved
to page_frag_cache.c, but admittedly I don't know how much that would
impact the performance.

The only left one is page_frag_encode_page(), I am not sure if it makes
much sense to move it to page_frag_cache.c while the rest of them are in
.h file.

I would move it. There is no point in exposing internals more than
necessary. Also since you are carrying a BUILD_BUG_ON it would make
sense to keep that internal to your implementation.
