Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_owner: Record the timestamp of all pages during free
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2021 01:45:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210129234548.10054-1-georgi.djakov@linaro.org> (raw)

Collect the time when each allocation is freed, to help with memory
analysis with kdump/ramdump.

Having another timestamp when we free the page helps for debugging
page migration issues. For example both alloc and free timestamps
being the same can gave hints that there is an issue with migrating
memory, as opposed to a page just being dropped during migration.
