| |
Hi all,
Accounting only free pages is very inaccurate for low memory handling, so we have to be smarter here.
The patch set implements a new attribute, which is blended from various memory statistics. Vmevent can't expose all the kernel internals to the userland, as it would make internal Linux MM representation tied to the ABI. So the ABI itself was made very simple: just number of pages before we consider that we're low on memory, and the kernel takes care of the rest.
Thanks,
