[PATCH v5 3/4] mm: Mark pages allocated through vmalloc

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Wed Mar 07 2018 - 08:45:23 EST


From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use a bit in page_type to mark pages which have been allocated through
vmalloc. This can be helpful when debugging crashdumps or analysing
memory fragmentation. Add a KPF flag to report these pages to userspace
and update page-types.c to interpret that flag.
