[PATCH 1/3] kfence: count unexpectedly skipped allocations

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

 



Maintain a counter to count allocations that are skipped due to being
incompatible (oversized, incompatible gfp flags) or no capacity.

This is to compute the fraction of allocations that could not be
serviced by KFENCE, which we expect to be rare.
