Add NUMA node filtering functionality to page_owner to allow filtering
pages by specific NUMA node(s). This is useful for NUMA-aware memory
allocation analysis and debugging.
The filter supports flexible input formats:
- Single node: nid=0
- Multiple nodes: nid=0,2,3
- Node range: nid=0-3
- Mixed format: nid=0,2-4,7
Example usage:
# Using the page_owner_filter tool (recommended)
./page_owner_filter -n 0-3
./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n 0,2-4,7
The implementation uses per-file-descriptor filter state stored in
file->private_data, allowing each opener to have independent filter
configuration. It uses nodemask_t for efficient multi-node filtering and
nodelist_parse() for flexible input parsing. Node validity is verified
using nodes_subset() to reject nodes without memory.
