Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mm/vmstat: add NRSWP{IN,OUT} counters
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 15:21:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706132206.935272-8-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706132206.935272-1-hch@lst.de>
Count how many swap I/Os we cause. Due to batching this can be different
than the current counter number of pages written/read, and tracking this
information is useful to see how efficient the batching is.
The counters are added at the end of enum vm_event_item and the
vmstat_text array under the assumption that the order of fields in
/proc/vmstat is an ABI. If that is not the case, they could be grouped
with the other swap counters.
