I also think there should be a comment that dma_addr[0] must be aliased to ->index. (Or whatever all the exact requirements are.)

Yes. It no longer added any value. You can see dma_addr now occupies two words. > I also think there should be a comment that dma_addr[0] > must be aliased to ->index. That's not a requirement. Moving the pfmemalloc indicator is a requirement so that we _can_ use index, but there's no requirement about how index is used.

The net page_pool wants to use a magic value to identify page pool pages. The best place to put it is in the first word where it can be clearly a non-pointer value. That means shifting dma_addr up to alias with ->index, which means we need to find another way to indicate page_is_pfmemalloc(). Since page_pool doesn't want to set its magic value on pages which are pfmemalloc, we can use bit 1 of compound_head to indicate that the page came from the memory reserves.
