Patch series "Get rid of tail page fields". Continue the shrinkage of the struct page definition by getting rid of the 'first tail page' and 'second tail page' fields. I originally did this patch set before Hugh's rewrite of the subpages_mapcount, so it needed substantial updates; hope I didn't miss anything. This patch (of 28): commit dad6a5eb5556(mm,hugetlb: use folio fields in second tail page) added a transitional hugetlb field to struct page and struct folio to make room for another int in the first tail of a compound page. Hugetlb folio conversions have changed all page users of this field to use the fields within the folio so struct page no longer needs this hugetlb specific field.

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 Restructured Text 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.
