Andrei Vagin a516403787 fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions
Patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard
regions", v2.

Introduce the PAGE_IS_GUARD flag in the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to expose
information about guard regions.  This allows userspace tools, such as
CRIU, to detect and handle guard regions.

Currently, CRIU utilizes PAGEMAP_SCAN as a more efficient alternative to
parsing /proc/pid/pagemap.  Without this change, guard regions are
incorrectly reported as swap-anon regions, leading CRIU to attempt dumping
them and subsequently failing.

The series includes updates to the documentation and selftests to reflect
the new functionality.


This patch (of 3):

Introduce the PAGE_IS_GUARD flag in the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to expose
information about guard regions.  This allows userspace tools, such as
CRIU, to detect and handle guard regions.
