[PATCH] mm: add stackdepot information on page->private for tracking

From: zhaoyang.huang
Date: Wed Oct 05 2022 - 23:22:15 EST


From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Private is vacant for most of Non-LRU pages while the user has explicitly
operation on page->private via set_page_private, I would like introduce
stackdepot information on page->private for a simplified tracking mechanism
which could be help for kernel driver's memory leak.
