Hi, In this patch, I set info->dump_level=MAX_DUMP_LEVEL, and info->flag_cyclic=TRUE; With MAX_DUMP_LEVEL all kinds of memory can be calculated. And under cyclic mode, function get_num_dumpable_cyclic() is ready to do the page number calculation of memory in different use.
There's miss in [patch 7/7 v1], please reivew [patch 7/7 v2].
