Subject: [PATCH 6/8] tools/mm: Add PID/TGID/COMM filtering support to page_owner_filter
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:13:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828031339.1270699-7-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828031339.1270699-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn>
Add command-line options for filtering by process ID (PID), thread group
ID (TGID), and process name (COMM) to the page_owner_filter userspace tool.
New options:
-p, --pid PID_LIST : Process IDs (comma-separated, max 16)
-t, --tgid TGID_LIST : Thread Group IDs (comma-separated, max 16)
-c, --comm COMM_LIST : Process names (comma-separated, max 8)
Supports wildcards: * ? [a-z]
Usage examples:
page_owner_filter -p 1234,5678
page_owner_filter -c "python*"
page_owner_filter -n 0 -c kworker* -o output.txt
