Can't we use a bit in zone->flags or > something?
It won't be "a" bit since zone_type is an enum. However zone->flags could be split into 2 bitfields to hold enum zone_flags and enum zone_type. However this patch still is independent of that since we have struct page as starting point and zone_type is available from there directly w/o monkeying around with any zone structs. -Vineet -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
