[PATCH v10 6/7] mm,page_owner: Filter out stacks by a threshold
Posted by Oscar Salvador 7 months ago
We want to be able to filter out the stacks based on a threshold we can
can tune.
By writing to 'count_threshold' file, we can adjust the threshold value.

no need READ/WRITE_ONCE between get/set, since simple_attr_read/write() 
with a mutex, but set and stack_print could date race

%llu\n"

In addition, since we have a stack_list, could we add a new feature to
dump stack info with threshold with OOM notifier, because many users
directly call alloc_page family, which makes it too difficult to debug
during OOM.
