[Patch 2/8] Block I/O, swapin delays

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



delayacct-blkio-swapin.patch

Collect per-task block I/O delay statistics.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting
patches, now delays are only collected for the actual
I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen in
I/O submission paths.

Account separately for block I/O delays
incurred as a result of swapin page faults whose
frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit.
Hence swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes
independent of I/O priority changes.
