The exiting proces write counter is legacy and generally useless. If you want to track syscalls there are already plenty of ways to do that per process. There's no way to track background mmap flushes and it may be meaningless in this case anyways. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
