Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/zswap: Add per-memcg stat for proactive writeback
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 18:51:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511105149.75584-4-jiahao.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511105149.75584-1-jiahao.kernel@gmail.com>
From: Hao Jia <jiahao1@lixiang.com>
Currently, zswap writeback can be triggered by either the pool limit
being hit or by the proactive writeback mechanism. However, the
existing 'zswpwb' metric in memory.stat and /proc/vmstat counts all
written back pages, making it difficult to distinguish between pages
written back due to the pool limit and those written back proactively.
Add a new statistic 'zswpwb_proactive' to memory.stat and /proc/vmstat.
This counter tracks the number of pages written back due to proactive
writeback. This allows users to better monitor and tune the proactive
writeback mechanism.
