[PATCH 03/10] mm: shrinker: Add new stats for .to_text()

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

 



Add a few new shrinker stats.

number of objects requested to free, number of objects freed:

Shrinkers won't necessarily free all objects requested for a variety of
reasons, but if the two counts are wildly different something is likely
amiss.

.scan_objects runtime:

If one shrinker is taking an excessive amount of time to free
objects that will block kswapd from running other shrinkers.
