Subject: [PATCH 0/5] page allocation tag compression

This patchset implements several improvements:
1. Gracefully handles module unloading while there are used allocations
allocated from that module;
2. Provides an option to reduce memory overhead from storing page
allocation references by indexing allocation tags;
3. Provides an option to store page allocation tag references in the
page flags, removing dependency on page extensions and eliminating the
memory overhead from storing page allocation references (~0.2% of total
system memory).
4. Improves page allocation performance when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING
is enabled by eliminating page extension lookup. Page allocation
performance overhead is reduced from 14% to 5.5%.

Patch #1 copies module tags into virtually contiguous memory which
serves two purposes:
- Lets us deal with the situation when module is unloaded while there
are still live allocations from that module. Since we are using a copy
version of the tags we can safely unload the module. Space and gaps in
this contiguous memory are managed using a maple tree.
- Enables simple indexing of the tags in the later patches.

Preallocated virtually contiguous memory size can be configured using
max_module_alloc_tags kernel parameter.

Patch #2 is a code cleanup to simplify later changes.

Patch #3 abstracts page allocation tag reference to simplify later
changes.

Patch #4 lets us control page allocation tag reference sizes and
introduces tag indexing.

Patch #5 adds a config to store page allocation tag references inside
page flags if they fit.

Patchset applies to mm-unstable.

Suren Baghdasaryan (5):
  alloc_tag: load module tags into separate continuous memory
  alloc_tag: eliminate alloc_tag_ref_set
  alloc_tag: introduce pgalloc_tag_ref to abstract page tag references
  alloc_tag: make page allocation tag reference size configurable
  alloc_tag: config to store page allocation tag refs in page flags
