[patch 1/2] own header file for struct page.
From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Fri Sep 08 2006 - 07:15:00 EST
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
This moves the definition of struct page from mm.h to its own header file
page.h.
This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on s390:
#define SetPageUptodate(_page)
do {
struct page *__page = (_page);
if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags))
page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page);
} while (0)
_page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs. Using
__page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it
causes yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as
well.
In order to get of all these problems caused by macros it seems to
be a good idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline
functions. Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a
seperate header file for the struct page definition.
