Subject: [PATCH v4 16/16] mm/page-flags: remove PG_private
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 22:24:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260913-remove-pg_private-v4-16-848550f7574e@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260913-remove-pg_private-v4-0-848550f7574e@nvidia.com>

folio->private != NULL indicates a folio carries private data, replacing
PG_private. All PG_private users are converted. Remove PG_private and
reserve the space as PG_folio for future use. Unused PG_private functions
are removed too.
