Hi all,
At present, the split counters in THP statistics no longer include
PTE-mapped mTHP. Therefore, we want to introduce per-order mTHP split
counters to monitor the frequency of mTHP splits. This will assist
developers in better analyzing and optimizing system performance.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-<size>/stats
split_page
split_page_failed
deferred_split_page
Thanks,
Lance

E.g., is split_page_failed contained in split_page? Is deferred_split_page contained in split_page? But also: just don't call it "split_page". Drop the "_page". split split_failed split_deferred ? -- Cheers, David / dhildenb

I think the diffstat is backwards; the series definitely adds more lines than it removes. And patch 2 is adding 16 lines of docs, not removing them.

Right; we also shouldn't call it "thp_split_page" here :) -- Cheers, David / dhildenb

Let's drop the "_page". split split_failed split_deferred Thanks, Lance > > -- > Cheers, > > David / dhildenb >
