    mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions · fe896d18

    The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
    migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
    reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
    follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
    reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
    to succeed so finding offending place is really important.
    
    In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
    converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
    add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
    facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
    no functional change in this patch.
    
    In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
    help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
    prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).
