[PATCHv4 18/39] thp, mm: add event counters for huge page alloc on write to a file

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Sat May 11 2013 - 21:28:30 EST


From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Existing stats specify source of thp page: fault or collapse. We're
going allocate a new huge page with write(2). It's nither fault nor
collapse.

Let's introduce new events for that.
