Shrink struct vm_page size
struct vm_page is supposed to be a "small structure", but it takes up 96
bytes on x86_64 (to represent a 4k page). By utilizing bitfields and
strategically reordering members to avoid excessive padding, it can be
shrunk to 80 bytes.
- page_lock and unlock_request only need to store a bitmask of
VM_PROT_READ, VM_PROT_WRITE, and VM_PROT_EXECUTE. Even though the
special values VM_PROT_NO_CHANGE and VM_PROT_NOTIFY are defined, they
are not used for the two struct vm_page members.
- type and seg_index both need to store one of the four possible values
in the range from 0 to 3. Two bits are sufficient for this.
- order needs to store a number from 0 to VM_PAGE_NR_FREE_LISTS (which
is 11), or a special value VM_PAGE_ORDER_UNLISTED. Four bits are
sufficient for this.
No functional change.
