From 30b9aed8cd576964bff71a6c5f022ca30ac4c3b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:44:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm, vmscan: remove unused mm_vmscan_memcg_isolate Patch series "vm, vmscan: enahance vmscan tracepoints", v2. While debugging [2] I've realized that there is some room for improvements in the tracepoints set we offer currently. I had hard times to make any conclusion from the existing ones. The resulting problem turned out to be active list aging [3] and we are missing at least two tracepoints to debug such a problem. Some existing tracepoints could export more information to see _why_ the reclaim progress cannot be made not only _how much_ we could reclaim. The later could be seen quite reasonably from the vmstat counters already. It can be argued that we are showing too many implementation details in those tracepoints but I consider them way too lowlevel already to be usable by any kernel independent userspace. I would be _really_ surprised if anything but debugging tools have used them. Any feedback is highly appreciated.
