2012-07-31mm: account for the number of times direct reclaimers get throttledMel Gorman
Under significant pressure when writing back to network-backed storage, direct reclaimers may get throttled. This is expected to be a short-lived event and the processes get woken up again but processes do get stalled. This patch counts how many times such stalling occurs. It's up to the administrator whether to reduce these stalls by increasing min_free_kbytes.

2012-04-25mm: fix up the vmscan stat in vmstatYing Han
The "pgsteal" stat is confusing because it counts both direct reclaim as well as background reclaim. However, we have "kswapd_steal" which also counts background reclaim value. This patch fixes it and also makes it match the existng "pgscan_" stats. Test: pgsteal_kswapd_dma32 447623 pgsteal_kswapd_normal 42272677 pgsteal_kswapd_movable 0 pgsteal_direct_dma32 2801 pgsteal_direct_normal 44353270 pgsteal_direct_movable 0 Signed-off-by: Ying Han <yinghan@google.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Acked-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <dhillf@gmail.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-05-26mm: move enum vm_event_item into a standalone header fileAndrew Morton
enums are problematic because they cannot be forward-declared: akpm2:/home/akpm> cat t.c enum foo; static inline void bar(enum foo f) { } akpm2:/home/akpm> gcc -c t.c t.c:4: error: parameter 1 ('f') has incomplete type So move the enum's definition into a standalone header file which can be used wherever its definition is needed.
