Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements through page_owner", v2. The debug_pagealloc functionality serves a similar purpose on the page allocator level that slub_debug does on the kmalloc level, which is to detect bad users. One notable feature that slub_debug has is storing stack traces of who last allocated and freed the object. On page level we track allocations via page_owner, but that info is discarded when freeing, and we don't track freeing at all. This series improves those aspects. With both debug_pagealloc and page_owner enabled, we can then get bug reports such as the example in Patch 4. SLUB debug tracking additionally stores cpu, pid and timestamp. This could be added later, if deemed useful enough to justify the additional page_ext structure size. This patch (of 3): Currently, page owner info is only recorded for the first page of a high-order allocation, and copied to tail pages in the event of a split page. With the plan to keep previous owner info after freeing the page, it would be benefical to record page owner for each subpage upon allocation. This increases the overhead for high orders, but that should be acceptable for a debugging option. The order stored for each subpage is the order of the whole allocation. This makes it possible to calculate the "head" pfn and to recognize "tail" pages (quoted because not all high-order allocations are compound pages with true head and tail pages). When reading the page_owner debugfs file, keep skipping the "tail" pages so that stats gathered by existing scripts don't get inflated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
