[RFC] [PATCH] [2.5.35] Run Queue Statistics

From: Lev Makhlis (mlev@despammed.com)
Date: Mon Sep 16 2002 - 17:20:44 EST


This patch adds two counters, runque and runocc, similar to those
in traditional UNIX systems, to measure the run queue occupancy.
Every second, 'runque' is incremented by the run queue size, and
'runocc' is incremented by one if the run queue is not empty.

I am not comfortable about putting the calculation in the same function
as the load average calculation, but I didn't want to call
count_active_tasks() twice. Comments are welcome.

Lev
