[PATCH 0/3][RFC] mm/page:_owner: track page free call chain

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Sat Jul 02 2016 - 12:17:44 EST


Hello,

RFC

Page owner tracks a call chain that has allocated a page, this
patch set extends it with a PAGE_OWNER_TRACK_FREE functionality,
that now also tracks a call chain that has freed the page.

Page dump, thus, now has the following format:

a) page allocated backtrace
b) page free backtrace
c) backtrace of path that has trigger bad page

For a quick example of a case when this new b) part can make a
difference please see 0003.

Sergey Senozhatsky (3):
mm/page_owner: rename page_owner functions
mm/page_owner: rename PAGE_EXT_OWNER flag
mm/page_owner: track page free call chain
