From dcfe730c60030fb76e2794a8960c6bd84c6c6163 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Chiang Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:57:52 -0800 Subject: page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command line Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line. Why is this useful? For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see this in /var/log/messages: kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010 It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source.
