Subject: [PATCH v4 09/11] mm, swap: add debugfs counters for vswap
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 08:32:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825153238.2695446-10-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825153238.2695446-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>
Add /sys/kernel/debug/vswap/ with two counters:
* used: virtual swap slots (pages) currently allocated
* alloc_reject: cumulative pages that failed to get a vswap slot
Signed-off-by: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com>
