Hi Folks, What are the major and minor fault counts in the struct task_struct meant to count?
On most Unix-like systems, a major fault is one that incurs I/O; a minor fault (reclaim) is one that does not. It appears that on Linux 2.5.74, some faults counted as `major' do not sleep (e.g., ones that hit the swap readahead).
