    [PATCH] cleanup page flags · aa78091f
    Andrew Morton authored
    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.
