The patch titled per-task-delay-accounting: sync block I/O and swapin delay collection has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is per-task-delay-accounting-sync-block-i-o-and-swapin-delay-collection.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this From: Balbir Singh <balbir@xxxxxxxxxx> Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen in I/O submission paths. Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O priority changes.
