This patch adds a new directory called 'page_owner_stacks' under /sys/kernel/debug/, with a file called 'show_stacks' in it. Reading from that file will show all stacks that were added by page_owner followed by their counting, giving us a clear overview of stack <-> count relationship. E.g: prep_new_page+0xa9/0x120 get_page_from_freelist+0x801/0x2210 __alloc_pages+0x18b/0x350 alloc_pages_mpol+0x91/0x1f0 folio_alloc+0x14/0x50 filemap_alloc_folio+0xb2/0x100 __filemap_get_folio+0x14a/0x490 ext4_write_begin+0xbd/0x4b0 [ext4] generic_perform_write+0xc1/0x1e0 ext4_buffered_write_iter+0x68/0xe0 [ext4] ext4_file_write_iter+0x70/0x740 [ext4] vfs_write+0x33d/0x420 ksys_write+0xa5/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x80/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76 stack_count: 4578 The seq stack_{start,next} functions will iterate through the list stack_list in order to print all stacks.

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.
