The -f option is to filter out the information of blocks whose memory has
not been released, I noticed some blocks should not be filtered out.
Commit 9cc7e96aa8 ("mm/page_owner: record timestamp and pid") records
the allocation timestamp (ts_nsec) of all pages.
Commit 866b485262 ("mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages
during free") records the free timestamp (free_ts_nsec) of all pages.
When the page is allocated for the first time, the initial value of
free_ts_nsec is 0, and the corresponding time will be obtained when the
page is released. But during reallocation the free_ts_nsec will not reset
to 0 again. In particular, when page migration occurs, these two
timestamps will be the same.
Now page_owner_sort removes all text blocks whose free_ts_nsec is not 0
when using -f option. However, this way can only select pages allocated
for the first time. If a freed page is reallocated, free_ts_nsec will be
less than ts_nsec; if page migration occurs, the two timestamps will be
equal. These cases should be considered as pages are not released.
So I fix the function is_need() to keep text blocks that meet the above
two conditions when using -f option.
