The patch titled Subject: mm: vmalloc: use trace_purge_vmap_area_lazy event has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-vmalloc-use-trace_purge_vmap_area_lazy-event.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-vmalloc-use-trace_purge_vmap_area_lazy-event.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm 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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: vmalloc: use trace_purge_vmap_area_lazy event Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 20:10:51 +0200 This is for debug purposes and is called when all outstanding areas are removed back to the vmap space. It gives some extra information about: - a start:end range where set of vmap ares were freed; - a number of purged areas which were backed off.
