[PATCH v2 02/12] task_isolation: vmstat: add vmstat_idle function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This function checks to see if a vmstat worker is not running,
and the vmstat diffs don't require an update.  The function is
called from the task-isolation code to see if we need to
actually do some work to quiet vmstat.
