[RFC PATCH] mm: record context on page->mapping

From: Huangzhaoyang
Date: Thu Feb 10 2022 - 04:02:25 EST


From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since page->mapping is vacant in the pages which used by kernel(drivers etc)
Have it record current context to help tracking the page's owner in system
memory dump.
