The patch titled Subject: mm, vmscan: extract shrink_page_list reclaim counters into a struct has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-vmscan-extract-shrink_page_list-reclaim-counters-into-a-struct.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-vmscan-extract-shrink_page_list-reclaim-counters-into-a-struct.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-vmscan-extract-shrink_page_list-reclaim-counters-into-a-struct.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, vmscan: extract shrink_page_list reclaim counters into a struct shrink_page_list returns quite some counters back to its caller. Extract the existing 5 into struct reclaim_stat because this makes the code easier to follow and also allows further counters to be returned. While we are at it, make all of them unsigned rather than unsigned long as we do not really need full 64b for them (we never scan more than SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages at once). This should reduce some stack space. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.
