My main thought is that _everybody_ is going to have to live with the

the cost will be paid by those not even using any kind of resource

Every userspace or page cache page will be in an object
though. Could we do the pointer on a per object (mapping,
anon vma, ...) basis?
in this case no memory fractions accounting is possible :/
please, note, this field added by this patchset is in union
and used by user pages accounting as well.
Kernel pages are not using all of their struct page entries,
so we could overload a field.
yeah, we can. probably mapping.
but as I said we use the same pointer for user pages accounting as well.
It all depends on how much we really care about not growing
struct page :)
so what is your opinion?
Kernel compiled w/o UBC do not introduce additional pointer.
Thanks,
