The patch titled Subject: mm-vmscan-add-active-list-aging-tracepoint-update has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmscan-add-active-list-aging-tracepoint-update.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-vmscan-add-active-list-aging-tracepoint.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm-vmscan-add-active-list-aging-tracepoint-update Our reclaim process has several tracepoints to tell us more about how things are progressing. We are, however, missing a tracepoint to track active list aging. Introduce mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_active which reports the number of - nr_taken is number of isolated pages from the active list - nr_referenced pages which tells us that we are hitting referenced pages which are deactivated. If this is a large part of the reported nr_deactivated pages then we might be hitting into the active list too early because they might be still part of the working set. This might help to debug performance issues. - nr_active pages which tells us how many pages are kept on the active list - mostly exec file backed pages. A high number can indicate that we might be trashing on executables.
