Subject: [PATCH] page-types: decode flags directly from command line
Teach page-types to decode page flags directly from the command
line.
Why is this useful? For instance, if you're using memory hotplug
and see this in /var/log/messages:
kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000400
It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at
the source.
Example usage and output:
linux-2.6/Documentation/vm$ ./page-types -d 0x1e00000000000400
flags page-count MB symbolic-flags long-symbolic-flags
0x1e00000000000400 1 0 __________B_______________________buddy
total 1 0
