BTW, it seems this doesn't work when some apps use huge shmem. How to handle the issue ?Could you elaborate further?== static inline unsigned long zone_unmapped_file_pages(struct zone *zone) { unsigned long file_mapped = zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_MAPPED); unsigned long file_lru = zone_page_state(zone, NR_INACTIVE_FILE) + zone_page_state(zone, NR_ACTIVE_FILE); /* * It's possible for there to be more file mapped pages than * accounted for by the pages on the file LRU lists because * tmpfs pages accounted for as ANON can also be FILE_MAPPED */ return (file_lru > file_mapped) ? (file_lru - file_mapped) : 0; }
Yes, I did :) The word huge confused me. I am not sure if there is an easy accounting fix for this one, though given the approximate nature of the control, I am not sure it would matter very much. But you do have a very good point. -- Three Cheers, Balbir -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
