Subject: [PATCH v3 3/8] mm/page_owner: Add COMM filtering with wildcard support
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 16:26:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907082620.2083838-4-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907082620.2083838-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn>
Add process name (COMM) filtering to page_owner with glob-style wildcard
pattern matching support. Users can now filter page_owner output by
process names using flexible patterns.
Supported wildcards:
* : matches any sequence of characters
? : matches any single character
[abc]: matches any character in the set
[a-z]: matches any character in the range
Examples:
comm="python*" : matches python, python3, python3.9, etc.
comm="*sh" : matches bash, zsh, dash, etc.
Also select GLOB from PAGE_OWNER. glob_match() is provided by
lib/glob.c, which is only built when CONFIG_GLOB is set, and
CONFIG_GLOB is a hidden option without a prompt. A config that enables
PAGE_OWNER but has no other GLOB selector would fail to link with an
undefined reference to glob_match().
Signed-off-by: Zhen Ni <zhen.ni@easystack.cn>
---
Changes in v3:
- No change.
Changes in v2:
- Select GLOB from PAGE_OWNER so that glob_match() is always linked in
when the feature is enabled.
- Drop the kstrdup() copy in parse_comm_list(); parse the token in
place, matching patch 1.
