page-allocator: use integer fields lookup for gfp_zone and check for …
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
…errors in flags passed to the page allocator

This simplifies the code in gfp_zone() and also keeps the ability of the
compiler to use constant folding to get rid of gfp_zone processing.

The lookup of the zone is done using a bitfield stored in an integer.  So
the code in gfp_zone is a simple extraction of bits from a constant
bitfield.  The compiler is generating a load of a constant into a register
and then performs a shift and mask operation to get the zone from a gfp_t.
 No cachelines are touched and no branches have to be predicted by the
compiler.

We are doing some macro tricks here to convince the compiler to always do
the constant folding if possible.

* GFP_ZONE_TABLE is a word size bitstring that is used for looking up the
* zone to use given the lowest 4 bits of gfp_t. Entries are ZONE_SHIFT long
* and there are 16 of them to cover all possible combinations of
* __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and __GFP_HIGHMEM
*
* The zone fallback order is MOVABLE=>HIGHMEM=>NORMAL=>DMA32=>DMA.
* But GFP_MOVABLE is not only a zone specifier but also an allocation
* policy. Therefore __GFP_MOVABLE plus another zone selector is valid.
* Only 1bit of the lowest 3 bit (DMA,DMA32,HIGHMEM) can be set to "1".
