The patch titled zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_slab to per zone counter has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is zoned-vm-counters-conversion-of-nr_slab-to-per-zone-counter.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_slab to per zone counter From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> - Allows reclaim to access counter without looping over processor counts. - Allows accurate statistics on how many pages are used in a zone by the slab. This may become useful to balance slab allocations over various zones.
