Subject: [PATCH 06/34] vmscan: add shrink_slab tracepoints
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 14:38:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343050727-3045-7-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1343050727-3045-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
commit 095760730c1047c69159ce88021a7fa3833502c8 upstream.
Stable note: This patch makes later patches easier to apply but otherwise
has little to justify it. It is a diagnostic patch that was part
of a series addressing excessive slab shrinking after GFP_NOFS
failures. There is detailed information on the series' motivation
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/2/42 .
It is impossible to understand what the shrinkers are actually doing
without instrumenting the code, so add a some tracepoints to allow
insight to be gained.
