[PATCH 22/25] Noreclaim and Mlocked pages vm events

From: Lee Schermerhorn
Date: Thu May 29 2008 - 15:53:50 EST


From: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@xxxxxx>

Against: 2.6.26-rc2-mm1

Add some event counters to vmstats for testing noreclaim/mlock.
Some of these might be interesting enough to keep around.
