宏PageReserved用来检测是否是该页是否为内核代码所用或者该页根本就没有使用。
定义在include/linux/page-flags.h中
#define TESTPAGEFLAG(uname, lname) \
static inline int Page##uname(struct page *page) \
{ return test_bit(PG_##lname, &page->flags); }
#define SETPAGEFLAG(uname, lname) \
static inline void SetPage##uname(struct page *page) \
{ set_bit(PG_##lname, &page->flags); }
#define CLEARPAGEFLAG(uname, lname) \
static inline void ClearPage##uname(struct page *page) \
{ clear_bit(PG_##lname, &page->flags); }
#define PAGEFLAG(uname, lname) TESTPAGEFLAG(uname, lname) \
SETPAGEFLAG(uname, lname) CLEARPAGEFLAG(uname, lname)
#define __CLEARPAGEFLAG(uname, lname) \
static inline void __ClearPage##uname(struct page *page) \
{ __clear_bit(PG_##lname, &page->flags); }
PAGEFLAG(Reserved, reserved) __CLEARPAGEFLAG(Reserved, reserved)
其中
__clear_bit() is non-atomic,
clear_bit - Clears a bit in memory. clear_bit() is atomic and may not be reordered.
set_bit - Atomically set a bit in memory. set_bit() is atomic and may not be reordered.
至于flag PG_reserved,在ULK第八章里有描述:
PG_reserved:The page frame is reserved for kernel code or is unusable.页框留给内核代码或者没有使用。
/*
* 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 on pagecache pages if they contain filesystem
* specific data (which is normally at page->private). It can be used by
* private allocations for its own usage.
*
* During initiation of disk I/O, PG_locked is set. This bit is set before I/O
* and cleared when writeback _starts_ or when read _completes_. PG_writeback
* is set before writeback starts and cleared when it finishes.
*
* PG_locked also pins a page in pagecache, and blocks truncation of the file
* while it is held.
*
* page_waitqueue(page) is a wait queue of all tasks waiting for the page
* to become unlocked.
*
* 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.
*
* PG_referenced, PG_reclaim are used for page reclaim for anonymous and
* file-backed pagecache (see mm/vmscan.c).
*
* 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...
*
* PG_buddy is set to indicate that the page is free and in the buddy system
* (see mm/page_alloc.c).
*

/*
* Don't use the *_dontuse flags. Use the macros. Otherwise you'll break
* locked- and dirty-page accounting.
*
* The page flags field is split into two parts, the main flags area
* which extends from the low bits upwards, and the fields area which
* extends from the high bits downwards.
*
* | FIELD | ... | FLAGS |
* N-1 ^ 0
* (NR_PAGEFLAGS)
*
* The fields area is reserved for fields mapping zone, node (for NUMA) and
* SPARSEMEM section (for variants of SPARSEMEM that require section ids like
* SPARSEMEM_EXTREME with !SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP).
