This adopts Rik van Riel's recent extended VM statistics patch for the
'armed-to-the-gills-kitchen-sink rmap' against 2.5.26. The aim, in
combination with a meaningful benchmark suite, is to be able to have the
statistical ammunition to fine tune the VM properly, rather than twiddling
all knobs at once hoping to make things better.
Get the patch series here:
http://loke.as.arizona.edu/~ckulesa/kernel/rmap-vm/2.5.26/
Rik's original announcement is here:
http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2002-07/msg00172.html
and I have added Bill Irwin's alterations to the patch, described here:
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-28/1287.html
Given the late hour, I have almost certainly forgotten some hooks in
vmscan, so count it as a first, harmless cut at the problem. Feedback
and fixes welcome! :)
For 2.5.27, I'll make sure this patch is incremental to Rik's stats patch,
and not a replacement for it. Sorry 'bout that...
