[RFC][PATCH 0/4] mm, page_owner: make the owner in page owner clearer

From: Jeff Xie
Date: Wed Nov 08 2023 - 22:31:35 EST

The current page_owner function can display the allocate and free process of
a page, but there is no accurate information corresponding to the page.

This patchset can make the slab page to know which kmem cache the page is
requested from.

For the file page, it can know the corresponding file inode,
if this file page is mapped to the process address space, we can know the virtual
address corresponding to a certain process.

For the anon page, since it must be mapped to the process address space, at this
time, we can also know the virtual address corresponding to a certain process.

To implement it, we only need to add a callback function in the struct page_owner,
this let the slab layer or the anon/file handler layer or any other memory-allocated
layers to implement what they would like to tell.

For example, for slab page, a line is added to the result of page_owner
