Why is it talking about MM_ANONPAGES and MM_FILEPAGES in the context of procfs files? Those terms are kernel-internal stuff and are meaningless to end users. So can we please start over with the changelogs? - What is wrong with the current user interface? - What changes are we proposing making? - What new fields are added to the UI? What is their meaning to users? - Are any existing UI fields altered? If so how and why and what impact will that have? Extra points will be awarded for example procfs output. This is the important stuff! Once this is all clearly described, understood and reviewed, then we can get into the kernel-internal-microdetails like MM_ANONPAGES. (And "What is wrong with the current user interface?" is important. What value does this patchset provide to end users? Why does anyone even want these changes?) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
