Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Correct page-in counter for CMM
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:07:34 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081114220734.GA26013@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
Linux will report the number of page-ins so that the hypervisor can
better determine partition memory pressure. The hardware page size and
the OS page size can be different. In the case where the hardware page
size is 4k and the OS is running with 64k pages the prior patch would
under-report the number of pages. This patch uses PAGE_FACTOR to correct
the reporting to the hypervisor.
