Hi Christian,
I am looking into idle page tracking and noticed the page-types tool
in tools/vm/. It seems you are only marking pages as idle if the -f
option is passed ("Walk file address space").
I was curious why you decided do the marking of idle pages only for
files and not anonymous pages?
As doing in the following code:
if (opt_mark_idle && opt_file)
page_idle_fd = checked_open(SYS_KERNEL_MM_PAGE_IDLE, O_RDWR);
We mainly want to do idle page tracking for anonymous regions to
determine howmuch of its anonymous memory is a process really using
actively.
But I was curious what was the reason you did it this way?
thanks,
- Joel
