Subject: [PATCH 3/8] mm/page_owner: Add COMM filtering with wildcard support
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:13:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828031339.1270699-4-zhen.ni@easystack.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828031339.1270699-1-zhen.ni@easystack.cn>
Add process name (COMM) filtering to page_owner with glob-style wildcard
pattern matching support. Users can now filter page_owner output by
process names using flexible patterns.
Supported wildcards:
* : matches any sequence of characters
? : matches any single character
[abc]: matches any character in the set
[a-z]: matches any character in the range
Examples:
comm=python* : matches python, python3, python3.9, etc.
comm=*sh : matches bash, zsh, dash, etc.
