[PATCH 1/2] Add poll_considered statistic

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

 



In order to help determine the effectiveness of polling in a running
system it is usful to determine the ratio of how often the poll
function is called vs how often the completion is checked. For this
reason we add a poll_considered variable and add it to the sysfs entry
for io_poll.
