Linux kernel source tree
1b5c65b64c
While investigating some complex memory allocation and free bugs especially in multi-processes and multi-threads cases, from time to time, I feel the free stack isn't sufficient as a page can be freed by processes or threads other than the one allocating it. And other processes and threads which free the page often have the exactly same free stack with the one allocating the page. We can't know who free the page only through the free stack though the current page_owner does tell us the pid and tgid of the one allocating the page. This makes the bug investigation often hard. So this patch adds free pid and tgid in page_owner, so that we can easily figure out if the freeing is crossing processes or threads.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
