Subject: [RESEND][PATCH mmotm] Fix NUMA accounting in numastat.txt
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 08:15:48 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090903081548.482b8771.minchan.kim@barrios-desktop> (raw)
In Documentation/numastat.txt, it confused me.
For example, there are nodes [0,1] in system.
barrios:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo | egrep 'numa|zone'
Node 0, zone DMA
numa_hit 33226
numa_miss 1739
numa_foreign 27978
..
..
Node 1, zone DMA
numa_hit 307
numa_miss 46900
numa_foreign 0
1) In node 0, NUMA_MISS means it wanted to allocate page
in node 1 but ended up with page in node 0
2) In node 0, NUMA_FOREIGN means it wanted to allocate page
in node 0 but ended up with page from Node 1.
But now, numastat explains it oppositely about (MISS, FOREIGN).
Let's fix up with viewpoint of zone.
