Subject: [PATCH v5] tools/mm: Add script to display page state for a given PID and VADDR
Date: Fri, 30 May 2025 13:58:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250530055855.687067-1-ye.liu@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>

Introduces a new drgn script, `show_page_info.py`, which allows users
to analyze the state of a page given a process ID (PID) and a virtual
address (VADDR). This can help kernel developers or debuggers easily
inspect page-related information in a live kernel or vmcore.

The script extracts information such as the page flags, mapping, and
other metadata relevant to diagnosing memory issues.

Output example:
sudo ./show_page_info.py 1 0x7fc988181000

Changes in v5:
- Use platform-aware word-size reads instead of raw byte access.
- Replace Object() with drgn.cast() for type safety.
- Better handle memcg flags and error cases.
- Exit on fatal errors with sys.exit().
- Remove 'User Virtual Address'.
- Link to v4:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250528091543.355386-1-ye.liu@linux.dev/

Changes in v4:
- Add error and exception handling.
- Adjust the way to obtain PAGE_SIZE.
- Fix the acquisition of memcg.
- Link to v3:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250423014850.344501-1-ye.liu@linux.dev/

Changes in v3:
- Adjust display style.
- Link to v2:https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250421080748.114750-1-ye.liu@linux.dev/

Changes in v2:
- Move the show_page_info.py file to tools/mm.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250415075024.248232-1-ye.liu@linux.dev/
