[PATCH 1/8] mm/page_owner: Add PID filtering support
From: Zhen Ni
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 23:19:27 EST
Add PID filtering support. Users can filter page_owner output by process
IDs using the "pid=<pid_list>" command format. The filter supports up to
16 PIDs specified as a comma-separated list. PIDs are stored in sorted
order for efficient binary search matching during page owner iteration.
