Yea, this tracepoint has been odd in not printing node/zone in a friendly way (it's possible to determine it from zone_start/zone_end though, so this is good in general. But instead of printing nid and zid like this, it would be nice to unify the output with the other tracepoints, e.g.:

DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(mm_compaction_suitable_template,
[...]
       TP_printk("node=%d zone=%-8s order=%d ret=%s",
               __entry->nid,
               __print_symbolic(__entry->idx, ZONE_TYPE),

Sure, I’ll do that in v2. Thanks!

Also, I guess I should have mentioned that the tracepoint added
at the end of the compaction code wasn’t just for deriving latency information. 
rc and *contended would give us the result of the compaction attempted, 
which I thought would be useful.

I get that begin/end tracepoints aren’t required here, but how about having
trace_mm_compaction_try_to_compact_pages moved to the end to 
include compaction status?

Janani.

Thanks,
Vlastimil
