By using a few values in the top byte, users of page_type can store up to 24 bits of additional data in page_type. It also reduces the code size as (with replacement of READ_ONCE() with data_race()), the kernel can check just a single byte. eg: ffffffff811e3a79: 8b 47 30 mov 0x30(%rdi),%eax ffffffff811e3a7c: 55 push %rbp ffffffff811e3a7d: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp ffffffff811e3a80: 25 00 00 00 82 and $0x82000000,%eax ffffffff811e3a85: 3d 00 00 00 80 cmp $0x80000000,%eax ffffffff811e3a8a: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ad9 <folio_mapping+0x69> becomes: ffffffff811e3a69: 80 7f 33 f5 cmpb $0xf5,0x33(%rdi) ffffffff811e3a6d: 55 push %rbp ffffffff811e3a6e: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp ffffffff811e3a71: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ac0 <folio_mapping+0x60> replacing three instructions with one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
