This patchset adds a new procfs interface to extrace information about pagecache status. In-kernel tool tools/vm/page-types.c has already some code for pagecache scanning without kernel's help, but it's not free from measurement-disturbance, so here I'm suggesting another approach.
Patch 1/4 changes radix tree API to support ranged iteration as a preparation for patch 2/4 which adds /proc/kpagecache. Patch 3/4 changes page-types to use the interface in file scanning mode. Patch 4/4 is documentation update.
This patchset were previously posted as a part of memory error reporting patchset (http://lwn.net/Articles/590690/), so changelogs in individual patches are changes from that version.
Thanks, Naoya Horiguchi --- Summary:
