[PATCH] cleanup page flags
page->flags cleanup. Moves the definitions of the page->flags bits and all the PageFoo macros into linux/page-flags.h. That file is currently included from mm.h, but the stage is set to remove that and include page-flags.h direct in all .c files which require that. (120 of them). The patch also makes all the page flag macros and functions consistent: For PG_foo, the following functions are defined: SetPageFoo ClearPageFoo TestSetPageFoo TestClearPageFoo PageFoo and that's it. - Page_Uptodate is renamed to PageUptodate - LockPage is removed. All users updated to use SetPageLocked - UnlockPage is removed. All callers updated to use unlock_page(). it's a real function - there's no need to hide that fact. - PageTestandClearReferenced renamed to TestClearPageReferenced - PageSetSlab renamed to SetPageSlab - __SetPageReserved is removed. It's an infinitesimally small microoptimisation, and is inconsistent. - TryLockPage is renamed to TestSetPageLocked - PageSwapCache() is renamed to page_swap_cache(), so it doesn't pretend to be a page->flags bit test.

#define PAGE_FLAGS_H
/*
+ * Various page->flags bits:
+ *
+ * PG_reserved is set for special pages, which can never be swapped out. Some
+ * of them might not even exist (eg empty_bad_page)...
+ *
+ * The PG_private bitflag is set if page->private contains a valid value.
+ *
+ * During disk I/O, PG_locked_dontuse is used. This bit is set before I/O and
+ * reset when I/O completes. page_waitqueue(page) is a wait queue of all tasks
+ * waiting for the I/O on this page to complete.
+ *
+ * PG_uptodate tells whether the page's contents is valid. When a read
+ * completes, the page becomes uptodate, unless a disk I/O error happened.
+ *
+ * For choosing which pages to swap out, inode pages carry a PG_referenced bit,
+ * which is set any time the system accesses that page through the (mapping,
+ * index) hash table. This referenced bit, together with the referenced bit
+ * in the page tables, is used to manipulate page->age and move the page across
+ * the active, inactive_dirty and inactive_clean lists.
+ *
+ * Note that the referenced bit, the page->lru list_head and the active,
+ * inactive_dirty and inactive_clean lists are protected by the
+ * pagemap_lru_lock, and *NOT* by the usual PG_locked_dontuse bit!
+ *
+ * PG_skip is used on sparc/sparc64 architectures to "skip" certain parts of
+ * the address space.
+ *
+ * PG_error is set to indicate that an I/O error occurred on this page.
+ *
+ * PG_arch_1 is an architecture specific page state bit. The generic code
+ * guarantees that this bit is cleared for a page when it first is entered into
+ * the page cache.
+ *
+ * PG_highmem pages are not permanently mapped into the kernel virtual address
+ * space, they need to be kmapped separately for doing IO on the pages. The
+ * struct page (these bits with information) are always mapped into kernel
+ * address space...
+ */
+
+/*
+ * Don't use the *_dontuse flags. Use the macros. Otherwise you'll break
+ * locked- and dirty-page accounting. The top eight bits of page->flags are
+ * used for page->zone, so putting flag bits there doesn't work.
