Subject: zoned VM stats: Add NR_ANON
From: Christoph Lameter <[email protected]>
The current NR_MAPPED is used by zone reclaim and the dirty load
calculation as the number of mapped pagecache pages. However, that is not
true. NR_MAPPED includes the mapped anonymous pages. This patch
separates those and therefore allows an accurate tracking of the anonymous
pages per zone.
It then becomes possible to determine the number of unmapped pages
per zone and we can avoid scanning for unmapped pages if there
are none.
Also it may now be possible to determine the mapped/unmapped ratio in
get_dirty_limit. Isnt the number of anonymous pages irrelevant in that
calculation?
Note that this will change the meaning of the number of mapped pages
reported in /proc/vmstat /proc/meminfo and in the per node statistics.
This may affect user space tools that monitor these counters!
NR_MAPPED works like NR_DIRTY. It is only valid for pagecache pages.
