[PATCH 3/3] Print out PAGE_OWNER statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance

[Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>]

When PAGE_OWNER is set, more information is available of relevance
to fragmentation avoidance. A second line is added to /proc/page_owner
showing the PFN, the pageblock number, the mobility type of the page based
on its allocation flags, whether the allocation is improperly placed and
the flags. A sample entry looks like

Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x1280d2
PFN 7355 Block 7 type 3 Fallback Flags      LA     
[0xc01528c6] __handle_mm_fault+598
[0xc0320427] do_page_fault+279
[0xc031ed9a] error_code+114

This information can be used to identify pages that are improperly placed. As
the format of PAGE_OWNER data is now different, the comment at the top of
Documentation/page_owner.c is updated with new instructions.

As PAGE_OWNER tracks the GFP flags used to allocate the pages,
/proc/pagetypeinfo is enhanced to contain how many mixed blocks exist. The
additional output looks like

Number of mixed blocks    Unmovable  Reclaimable      Movable      Reserve
Node 0, zone      DMA            0            1            2            1
Node 0, zone   Normal            2           11           33            0
