Subject: zoned-vm-stats-add-nr_anon.patch
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 13:46:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44985E9E.1070603@google.com> (raw)
Could we rename nr_mapped to something else if we're going to change
it's meaning? Perhaps split nr_mapped into nr_mapped_file and
nr_mapped_anon or something?
Otherwise any poor schmuck (eg me) who has to work across different
kernel versions is going to get rather confused in the future.
In my mind, "nr_mapped" is a good name for the number of pages which
are mapped, so excluding the anon pages from that seems to make
the naming non-obvious. similarly, I presume we can have anon pages
on transition to or from swap that are not mapped, and yet will
not be reflected here, so nr_anon doesn't seem like a wholly
accurate name to me either?
