[PATCH v5 0/4] Mark vmalloc and page-table pages
From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Wed Mar 07 2018 - 08:44:57 EST
From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch set changes how we use the _mapcount field in struct page
so that we can store an extra 20+ bits of information about why the
page was allocated. We expose that information to userspace through
/proc/kpageflags to help diagnose memory usage. It can also help
debugging if we know what a page was most recently allocated for.
Changes since v4:
- Added Kirill's acks
- Fixed spelling (Kirill)
- Allow a few extra bits to be used in page_type.
Matthew Wilcox (4):
s390: Use _refcount for pgtables
mm: Split page_type out from _mapcount
mm: Mark pages allocated through vmalloc
mm: Mark pages in use for page tables
