    Subject[v7 8/8] mm: add vmstat counters for tracking PCP drains
    Date
    This patch introduces two new vmstat counters for testing purposes:
    pcp_global_drain that counts the number of times a per-cpu pages
    global drain was requested and pcp_global_ipi_saved that counts
    the number of times the number of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any
    zone were less then 1/2 of the number of online CPUs.

    The patch purpose is to show the usefulness of only sending an IPI
    asking to drain per-cpu pages to CPUs that actually have them
    instead of a blind global IPI. It is probably not useful by itself.
