Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix the document of pgpgin/pgpgout
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:48:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1321922925-14930-1-git-send-email-yinghan@google.com> (raw)
The two memcg stats pgpgin/pgpgout have different meaning than the ones in
vmstat, which indicates that we picked a bad naming for them. It might be late
to change the stat name, but better documentation is always helpful.
