Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Split page_type out from mapcount
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 14:31:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180228223157.9281-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

I want to use the _mapcount field to record what a page is in use as.
This can help with debugging and we can also expose that information to
userspace through /proc/kpageflags to help diagnose memory usage (not
included as part of this patch set).

First, we need s390 to stop using _mapcount for its own purposes;
Martin, I hope you have time to look at this patch.  I must confess I
don't quite understand what the different bits are used for in the upper
nybble of the _mapcount, but I tried to replicate what you were doing
faithfully.

Matthew Wilcox (4):
  s390: Use _refcount for pgtables
  mm: Split page_type out from _map_count
  mm: Mark pages allocated through vmalloc
  mm: Mark pages in use for page tables
