[PATCH 1/4] mm: Add tracepoints for LRU activation and insertions

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Mon May 13 2013 - 06:21:35 EST


Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the
average residency of pages of different types. This can be used to
debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular
types.
