Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command line
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:21:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091105202116.25492.28878.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091105201846.25492.52935.stgit@bob.kio>

From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command
line.

Why is this useful? For instance, if you're using memory hotplug
and see this in /var/log/messages:

	kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010

It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at
the source.

Example usage and output:

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d 0x10
0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon
0x0000000000001000	____________a_____________________	anonymous

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon,0x10
0x0000000000001010	____D_______a_____________________	dirty,anonymous
