Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] mm/page_owner: Add memcg filter support
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 12:18:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903041819.1776630-6-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903041819.1776630-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn>

Add memory cgroup filtering to page_owner to allow filtering pages by
their memcg path. This helps debug memory usage patterns for specific
cgroups. Users can now filter page_owner output to show only pages
belonging to a particular memory cgroup.

Collect cgroup path in memcg_info using cgroup_path() and store the
filter state in page_owner_filter_state. When the user sets memcg filter
via "memcg=<path>" command, compare each page's cgroup path against
the specified path and skip non-matching pages using strcmp.

Signed-off-by: Zhen Ni <zhen.ni@easystack.cn>
---
Changes in v2:
- Allocate the cgroup path buffer once per read() outside the loop
  instead of per page inside get_page_memcg_info(); a GFP_KERNEL
  allocation must not sleep inside the page_ext RCU read-side critical
  section.
- Guard the memcg= parsing branch with CONFIG_MEMCG

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260828031339.1270699-6-zhen.ni@easystack.cn/
