[PATCHv6 12/22] thp, mm: add event counters for huge page alloc on file write or read

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Mon Sep 23 2013 - 08:10:44 EST


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

Let's introduce new events for that.
