mm, page_owner: print migratetype of page and pageblock, symbolic flags
The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
of the pageblock the page belongs to. This is also checked against the
page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and
the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the
pageblock's one. t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback
allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ. It also
doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible
to derive that from the gfp_flags.
It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and
leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback
allocation as the only possible reason. While at it, we can print the
migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some
of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration. For that, this
patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part
of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it.
With the new format strings for flags, we can now also provide symbolic
page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file. This
replaces the positional printing of page flags as single letters, which
might have looked nicer, but was limited to a subset of flags, and
required the user to remember the letters.
Example page_owner entry after the patch:
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24213ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COLD|__GFP_NOWARN|__GFP_NORETRY)
