Subject: [PATCH v5 2/9] mm/page_owner: add MR_NEVER to enum migrate_reason and use it for last_migrate_reason
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 14:10:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701061101.344679-3-ye.liu@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701061101.344679-1-ye.liu@linux.dev>
The last_migrate_reason field uses -1 as a sentinel value to mean "no
migration has happened". Replace the four bare -1 occurrences by
adding a proper MR_NEVER member to enum migrate_reason, defining a
corresponding "never_migrated" string in the MIGRATE_REASON trace
macro, and updating the GDB page_owner script to use MR_NEVER instead
of the hardcoded -1 so that lx-dump-page-owner does not incorrectly
report unmigrated pages as migrated.
No functional change.
