Subject: [PATCH v2] page_ext: introduce boot parameter 'early_page_ext'
From: Li Zhe <lizhe.67@...edance.com>
In 'commit 2f1ee0913ce5 ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init"")',
we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to avoid some panic
problem. It seems that we cannot track early page allocations in current
kernel even if page structure has been initialized early.
This patch introduce a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve this
problem. If we pass it to kernel, function page_ext_init() will be moved
up and feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be disabled.
It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is useful especially
when we find that the free memory value is not the same right after
different kernel booting.
Changelogs:
v1->v2:
- use a cmd line parameter to move up function page_ext_init() instead of
using CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
- fix oom problem[1]
v1 patch: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Yv3r6Y1vh+6AbY4+@dhcp22.suse.cz/T/
