page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command line
Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line. Why is this useful? For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see this in /var/log/messages: kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010 It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source. Example usage and output: # Documentation/vm/page-types -d 0x10 0x0000000000000010 ____D_____________________________ dirty # Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon 0x0000000000001000 ____________a_____________________ anonymous # Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon,0x10 0x0000000000001010 ____D_______a_____________________ dirty,anonymous [achiang@hp.com: documentation] Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Haicheng Li <haicheng.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
