Subject: [PATCH 0/5] proc: export more page flags in /proc/kpageflags (take 4)

Hi all,

Export 9 more flags to end users (and more for kernel developers):

        11. KPF_MMAP            (pseudo flag) memory mapped page
        12. KPF_ANON            (pseudo flag) memory mapped page (anonymous)
        13. KPF_SWAPCACHE       page is in swap cache
        14. KPF_SWAPBACKED      page is swap/RAM backed
        15. KPF_COMPOUND_HEAD   (*)
        16. KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL   (*)
        17. KPF_UNEVICTABLE     page is in the unevictable LRU list
        18. KPF_HWPOISON        hardware detected corruption
        19. KPF_NOPAGE          (pseudo flag) no page frame at the address

        (*) For compound pages, exporting _both_ head/tail info enables
            users to tell where a compound page starts/ends, and its order.

Please check the documentary patch and changelog of the final patch
for the details.
