You can rely on those to increment and count events if it does not matter that we may miss an event once in a while. And I think that is the case here. The counters may only switched off for embedded systems. We could just remove the CONFIG option if necessary. The event counter operations are in critical paths of the VM though and I would think that embedded systems with no need for vmstat want those as efficient as possible. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
