From 33906bc5c87b50028364405ec425de9638afc719 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 17:19:16 -0700 Subject: vmscan: tracing: add trace events for kswapd wakeup, sleeping and direct reclaim Add two trace events for kswapd waking up and going asleep for the purposes of tracking kswapd activity and two trace events for direct reclaim beginning and ending. The information can be used to work out how much time a process or the system is spending on the reclamation of pages and in the case of direct reclaim, how many pages were reclaimed for that process. High frequency triggering of these events could point to memory pressure problems.
