[PATCH v2] mm/vmstat: sum up all possible CPUs instead of using vm_events_fold_cpu

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

 



From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>

When unplugging a CPU, the current code merges its vm_events
with an online CPU. Because, during summation, it only considers
online CPUs, which is a crude workaround. By transitioning to
summing up all possible CPUs, we can eliminate the need for
vm_events_fold_cpu.

 originally suggested by Ryan while he reviewed mTHP counters
 patchset[1]; I am also applying this suggestion to vm_events

 -v2:
 also drop cpus_read_lock() as we don't care about cpu hotplug any more;
 -v1:
