[PATCH v4 3/3] mm,page_owner: Filter out stacks by a threshold counter

From: Oscar Salvador
Date: Fri Apr 21 2023 - 06:15:10 EST


We want to be able to filter out the output on a threshold basis,
in this way we can get rid of a lot of noise and focus only on those
stacks which have an allegedly high counter.

We can control the threshold value by a new file called
'page_owner_threshold', which is 0 by default.
