[RFC][Patch 4/5] Per-task delay accounting: Swap in delays

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

 



Changes since 11/14/05

- use nanosecond resolution, adjusted wall clock time for timestamps
  instead of sched_clock (akpm, andi, marcelo)
- collect stats only if delay accounting enabled (parag)
- collect delays for only swapin page faults instead of all page faults.

11/14/05: First post


delayacct-swapin.patch

Record time spent by a task waiting for its pages to be swapped in.
This statistic can help in adjusting the rss limits of
tasks (process), especially relative to each other, when the system is
under memory pressure.
