Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Add the array length of "free_list" for filtering free pages
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:33:26 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <473D0176.6090702@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <473CFE14.3010400@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp>


This patch adds the array length of "free_area.free_list" to the vmcoreinfo
data so that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can exclude all free pages
in linux-2.6.24.

makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the
analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, makedumpfile gets the vmcoreinfo
data which has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering.

In 2.6.24-rc1 or later, the free_area.free_list is an array which has one list
for each migrate types instead of a single list. makedumpfile needs the array
length of "free_area.free_list" and the vmcoreinfo data should contain it.
