Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmstats: add counters for the page frag cache
Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2017 08:37:11 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1504222631-2635-1-git-send-email-kyeongdon.kim@lge.com> (raw)
There was a memory leak problem when we did stressful test
on Android device.
The root cause of this was from page_frag_cache alloc
and it was very hard to find out.
We add to count the page frag allocation and free with function call.
The gap between pgfrag_alloc and pgfrag_free is good to to calculate
for the amount of page.
The gap between pgfrag_alloc_calls and pgfrag_free_calls is for
sub-indicator.
They can see trends of memory usage during the test.
Without it, it's difficult to check page frag usage so I believe we
should add it.
