[RFC PATCH 12/26] mm: page_alloc: per-migratetype free counts

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Tue Apr 18 2023 - 15:15:08 EST


Increase visibility into the defragmentation behavior by tracking and
reporting per-migratetype free counters.

Subsequent patches will also use those counters to make more targeted
reclaim/compaction decisions.
