[RFC PATCH] mm: record context on page->mapping

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

 



From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since page->mapping is vacant in the pages which used by kernel(drivers etc)
Have it record current context to help tracking the page's owner in system
memory dump.
