[RFC PATCH v2 3/6] mm: report working set when under memory pressure

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

 



When a system is under memory pressure and kswapd kicks in,
a working set report is produced. The userspace program
polling on the histogram file is notified of the new report.

The report threshold acts as a rate-limiting mechanism to
prevent the system from generating reports too frequently.
