Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 08/16] mm: Define function that creates the "nr_pages_allocs" file
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 18:09:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806011048.517229-9-jyescas@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806011048.517229-1-jyescas@google.com>
This change implements the function that creates the
"nr_pages_allocs". This file will be used to make the allocations.
When the user wants to make an allocation, it will write
the number of allocations to this file. For example, if want
to make 56 allocations of order 9 in the Node 0, Normal Zone and Migrate
type Movable, we execute this command:
echo 56 > <sysfs>/mm/node-0/zone-Normal/order-9/migrate-Movable/nr_pages_allocs
Signed-off-by: Juan Yescas <jyescas@google.com>

Changes in v2:
- Update file permissions to 0200.
- Free req_alloc.
