From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: /proc/kpageflags: return KPF_SLAB for slab tail pages
Currently /proc/kpageflags returns just KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL for slab tail
pages, which is inconvenient when grasping how slab pages are distributed
(userspace always needs to check which kind of tail pages by itself).
This patch sets KPF_SLAB for such pages.
With this patch:
$ grep Slab /proc/meminfo ; tools/vm/page-types -b slab
Slab: 64880 kB
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x0000000000000080 16220 63 _______S__________________________________ slab
total 16220 63
16220 pages equals to 64880 kB, so returned result is consistent with the
global counter.
