Subject: [RFC v2 3/3] mm, printk: introduce new format %pGt for page_type

dump_page() uses %pGp format to print 'flags' field of struct page.
As some page flags (e.g. PG_buddy, see page-flags.h for more details)
are set in page_type field, introduce %pGt format which provides
human readable output of page_type. And use it in dump_page().

Note that the sense of bits are different in page_type. if page_type is
0xffffffff, no flags are set. if PG_slab (0x00100000) flag is set,
page_type is 0xffefffff. Clearing a bit means we set the bit. Bits in
page_type are inverted when printing type names.

Below is examples of dump_page(). One is just after alloc_pages() and
the other is after __SetPageSlab().

Might be better with something like '%pGt: no type..."

Why do we have empty parentheses? I would expect either something there, or no
parentheses at all.

Can you utilize --cc parameter next time and avoid polluting commit message
with this? We have archives where anybody can check this (and usually maintainers
add a Link tag for that purpose).

It's too long, can we make it shorten?

This should be check for the entire function.

Hmm... I see it's already done like this above, but {} would suffice, why not
to convert the rest first to the {} and use it here?

I would split this to a separate change, but it's up to PRINTK maintainers.

This looks fine. format_page_flags() does the same for %pGp.

I wonder if it would help to write the value. Something like:

page_type: 0x0ace5768(no type)

That said. I am not familiar with the page types and am not sure
about the semantic of this value. MM people should decide what they
want to see in this case.

I guess that you are talking about the line:

+ pr_warn("page_type: %pGt\n", &head->page_type);


Yes, it would be better to have implementation of %pGt modifier
in one patch and add the user in another one.

Hmm, then for consistency let's try:

- 0xffefffff(slab)
- 0xffffffff()
- 0x0ace5768()

this way.

Sounds reasonable.
Will split its caller into another patch next to this one.

Thanks for looking at this.

May I ask why,
Does it have issues related to stack consumption?
To Be Honest I'm a bit unsure what is purpose of this attribute.

Will try something like "0x32()" when it has no type because it is
mapped to userspace.

Honestly, I do not like much adding this without numbers. It has been added
to some functions in vsprintf.c long time ago because it reduced
the stack usage. But I think that it is a compiler and an architecture
specific. And it is not clear if it would really help in this
particular case.

Feel free to omit it.
