From 1d40a5ea01d53251c23c7be541d3f4a656cfc537 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 17:08:23 -0700 Subject: mm: mark pages in use for page tables MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Define a new PageTable bit in the page_type and use it to mark pages in use as page tables. 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. Note that only pages currently accounted as NR_PAGETABLES are tracked as PageTable; this does not include pgd/p4d/pud/pmd pages. Those will be the subject of a later patch.
