[PATCH v2 08/10] Add page_is_buddy for PG_buddy

HATAYAMA Daisuke d.hatayama at jp.fujitsu.com
Fri Nov 16 00:02:13 EST 2012


On kernels from v2.6.18 to v2.6.37, buddy page is marked by the
PG_buddy flag.

  kernel version     | PG_buddy
  ------------------ +---------------------------------
  v2.6.17 to v2.6.26 | 19
  v2.6.27 to v2.6.37 | 19 if CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTEND=y
                     | 18 otherwise

We don't need to care about CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTEND because the
architectures specifying this as y are um and xtensa only. They are
not included in the supported architectures of makedumpfile.
