[PATCH -mm 14/16] Non-reclaimable page statistics

From: Rik van Riel
Date: Fri May 23 2008 - 18:09:53 EST


From: Lee Schermerhorn <Lee.Schermerhorn@xxxxxx>

Report non-reclaimable pages per zone and system wide.

Note: may want to track/report some specific reasons for
nonreclaimability for deciding when to splice the noreclaim
lists back to the normal lru. That will be tricky,
especially in shrink_active_list(), where we'd need someplace
to save the per page reason for non-reclaimability until the
pages are dumped back onto the noreclaim list from the pagevec.

Note: my tests indicate that NR_NORECLAIM and probably the
other LRU stats aren't being maintained properly--especially
with large amounts of mlocked memory and the mlock patch in
this series installed. Can't be sure of this, as I don't
know why the pages are on the noreclaim list. Needs further
investigation.
