Hello,

Page owner tracks a call chain that has allocated a page, this
patch set extends it with a free_pages call chain tracking
functionality.

Page dump, thus, now has the following format:

a) page allocated backtrace
b) page free backtrace
c) backtrace of the path that has trigger bad page

For a quick example of a case when this new b) part can make a
difference please see 0003.

v2:
-- do not add PAGE_OWNER_TRACK_FREE .config -- Joonsoo
-- minor improvements

Sergey Senozhatsky (3):
mm/page_owner: rename page_owner functions
mm/page_owner: rename PAGE_EXT_OWNER flag
mm/page_owner: track page free call chain
