How can you track that?

From the PoV of the global system, what you'll see is something like: dentry , dentry(2:memcg1), dentry(2:memcg2), etc. No attempt is made to provide any view of those caches in a logically grouped way - the global system can view them independently. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
