[PATCH v2 1/8] mm: dump_page: print head page's refcount, for compound pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When debugging a problem that involves compound pages, it is extremely
helpful if dump_page() reports not only the page->_refcount, but also
the refcount of the head page of the compound page. That's because the
head page collects refcounts for the entire compound page.

Therefore, enhance dump_page() so as to print out the refcount of the
head page of a compound page.

This approach (printing information about a struct page that is not the
struct page that was passed into dump_page()) has a precedent:
compound_mapcount is already being printed.
