Anyway, after that, no page is left in un-tracking state. +With CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER_MODULE_STAT config, page owner is able to track if +the pages are allocated by modules. If a page is allocated by a module, the +information dumped from /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner will show the module +name. Users can use the user-space helper to analyze the allocation situation +of modules. /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_filter can be used to filter out the pages +that are not allocated by modules. The legal value is "module" or "none". The default value +is "none", which means do not filter out any page. + +Besides, the top N modules that allocate the most pages will be dumped +when oom occurs or users read /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_module_stats. The N value +can be configured with /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_show_max. The default N is 20. + Usage ===== -- 2.25.1
