Subject[PATCH v8 2/5] mm/vmstat: Use vmstat_dirty to track CPU-specific vmstat discrepancies
Date
This patch will now use the previously introduced CPU-specific variable
namely vmstat_dirty to indicate if a vmstat differential/or imbalance is
present for a given CPU. So, at the appropriate time, vmstat processing can
be initiated. The hope is that this particular approach is "cheaper" when
compared to need_update(). The idea is based on Marcelo's patch [1].
