Subject: [PATCH v4 01/36] mm: Move PageDoubleMap bit

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>

PG_private_2 is defined as being PF_ANY (applicable to tail pages
as well as regular & head pages).  That means that the first tail
page of a double-map page will appear to have Private2 set.  Use the
Workingset bit instead which is defined as PF_HEAD so any attempt to
access the Workingset bit on a tail page will redirect to the head page's
Workingset bit.
