Hmm... The question is how much do the VM paths used for the critical path increment the vmstat counters on average per second? If we end up with hundred of updates per second from each thread then we still have a problem that can only be addressed by increasing the deltas beyond 125 meaning the fieldwidth must be increased to support 16 bit counters. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
