So if we are to add this, I'd suggest to put it close to the total pagecache line: printk("%ld total pagecache pages\n", global_page_state(NR_FILE_PAGES)); + printk("%ld blkdev pagecache pages\n", nr_blockdev_pages()); Thanks, Fengguang > > Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro > --- > mm/page_alloc.c | 3 ++- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > Index: b/mm/page_alloc.c > =================================================================== > --- a/mm/page_alloc.c > +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c > @@ -2118,7 +2118,7 @@ void show_free_areas(void) > printk("Active_anon:%lu active_file:%lu inactive_anon:%lu\n" > " inactive_file:%lu" > " unevictable:%lu" > - " dirty:%lu writeback:%lu unstable:%lu\n" > + " dirty:%lu writeback:%lu buffer:%lu unstable:%lu\n" > " free:%lu slab_reclaimable:%lu slab_unreclaimable:%lu\n" > " mapped:%lu pagetables:%lu bounce:%lu\n", > global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_ANON), > @@ -2128,6 +2128,7 @@ void show_free_areas(void) > global_page_state(NR_UNEVICTABLE), > global_page_state(NR_FILE_DIRTY), > global_page_state(NR_WRITEBACK), > + K(nr_blockdev_pages()), > global_page_state(NR_UNSTABLE_NFS), > global_page_state(NR_FREE_PAGES), > global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE), > -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
