[PATCH] hugetlb: vmstat events for huge page allocations v3

[Eric B Munson <ebmunson@us.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2863 bytes --]

From: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com>

Following feedback here is v3

Allocating huge pages directly from the buddy allocator is not guaranteed
to succeed.  Success depends on several factors (such as the amount of
physical memory available and the level of fragmentation).  With the
addition of dynamic hugetlb pool resizing, allocations can occur much more
frequently.  For these reasons it is desirable to keep track of huge page
allocation successes and failures.

Add two new vmstat entries to track huge page allocations that succeed and
fail.  The presence of the two entries is contingent upon
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE being enabled.

This patch was created against linux-2.6.25-rc5
