[RFC][PATCH v3 10/10] memcg : reclaim statistics

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu May 26 2011 - 01:43:28 EST



This patch adds a file memory.reclaim_stat.

This file shows following.
==
recent_scan_success_ratio 12 # recent reclaim/scan ratio.
limit_scan_pages 671 # scan caused by hitting limit.
limit_freed_pages 538 # freed pages by limit_scan
limit_elapsed_ns 518555076 # elapsed time in LRU scanning by limit.
soft_scan_pages 0 # scan caused by softlimit.
soft_freed_pages 0 # freed pages by soft_scan.
soft_elapsed_ns 0 # elapsed time in LRU scanning by softlimit.
margin_scan_pages 16744221 # scan caused by auto-keep-margin
margin_freed_pages 565943 # freed pages by auto-keep-margin.
margin_elapsed_ns 5545388791 # elapsed time in LRU scanning by auto-keep-margin

This patch adds a new file rather than adding more stats to memory.stat. By it,
this support "reset" accounting by

# echo 0 > .../memory.reclaim_stat

This is good for debug and tuning.

TODO:
- add Documentaion.
