Linux的pagemap技术,linux pagemap支持

/proc/pid/pagemap in an architecture independent manner.

Details

-------

My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:

- creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)

- read()/write() something on it,

- call page-types with option -p,

- munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs

Without my patches

------------------

$ ./leak_pagemap

flags page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags

The output of page-types don't show any hugepage.

The output of page-types shows 51200 pages contributing to hugepages,

containing 100 head pages and 51100 tail pages as expected.
