From e129b5c23c2b471d47f1c5d2b8b193fc2034af43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] vm: add per-zone writeout counter The VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the LRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates). But we don't actually have a clear way of showing how true this is. So add `nr_vmscan_write' to /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo - the number of pages which have been written by the vm scanner in this zone and globally.
