From 866b485262173a2b873386162b2ddcfbcb542b4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Georgi Djakov Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 22:54:57 -0700 Subject: mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages during free Collect the time when each allocation is freed, to help with memory analysis with kdump/ramdump. Add the timestamp also in the page_owner debugfs file and print it in dump_page(). Having another timestamp when we free the page helps for debugging page migration issues. For example both alloc and free timestamps being the same can gave hints that there is an issue with migrating memory, as opposed to a page just being dropped during migration.
