[PATCH 2/2] proc: report page->index instead of pfn for non-linearmappings in /proc/pid/pagemap

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Fri Apr 27 2012 - 08:39:15 EST


Currently there is no way to find out current layout of non-linear mapping.
Also there is no way to distinguish ordinary file mapping from non-linear mapping.

Now in pagemap non-linear pte can be recognized as present swapped file-backed,
or as non-present non-swapped file-backed for non-present non-linear file-pte:

present swapped file data description
0 0 0 null non-present
0 0 1 page-index non-linear file-pte
0 1 0 swap-entry anon-page in swap, migration or hwpoison
0 1 1 swap-entry file-page in migration or hwpoison
1 0 0 page-pfn present private-anon or special page
1 0 1 page-pfn present file or shared-anon page
1 1 0 none impossible combination
1 1 1 page-index non-linear file-page

[ the last unused combination 1-1-0 can be used for special pages, if anyone want this ]

Efficient users of this interface will use /proc/pid/maps to
determine which areas of memory are actually mapped and llseek to
skip over unmapped regions.
