[PATCH] /proc/kpagecount: return 0 for special pages that are never mapped

From: Anthony Yznaga
Date: Tue Dec 04 2018 - 17:44:05 EST


Certain pages that are never mapped to userspace have a type
indicated in the page_type field of their struct pages (e.g. PG_buddy).
page_type overlaps with _mapcount so set the count to 0 and avoid
calling page_mapcount() for these pages.
