From: Fan Yu <fan.yu9@zte.com.cn> Current Limitations =================== The current delaytop implementation has two main limitations: 1) Static sorting only by CPU delay Forcing users to restart with different parameters to analyze other resource bottlenecks. 2) Memory delay information is always expanded Causing information overload when only high-level memory pressure monitoring is needed. Improvements ============ 1) Implemented dynamic sorting capability - Interactive key 'o' triggers sort mode. - Supports sorting by CPU/IO/Memory/IRQ delays. - Memory subcategories available in verbose mode. * c - CPU delay (default) * i - IO delay * m - Total memory delay * q - IRQ delay * s/r/t/p/w - Memory subcategories (in verbose mode) 2) Added memory display modes - Compact view (default): shows aggregated memory delays. - Verbose view ('M' key): breaks down into memory sub-delays. * SWAP - swapin delays * RCL - freepages reclaim delays * THR - thrashing delays * CMP - compaction delays * WP - write-protect copy delays Practical benefits ================== 1) Dynamic Sorting for Real-Time Bottleneck Detection System administrators can now dynamically change sorting to identify different types of resource bottlenecks without restarting. 2) Enhanced Usability with On-Screen Keybindings More intuitive interactive usage with on-screen keybindings help. Reduced screen clutter when only memory overview is needed.

It's more intuitive and easier to understand the patches if show the output of new features in git log. And we notice that if PSI or delayaccouting is off, delaytop will output zero data, I think we should tell user why it's zero, since not all user knows kernel config will.

Else: > Acked-by: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@zte.com.cn> Hi Yang, Thanks for the review. I’ll address them in v2: 1. Add a message to inform the user when PSI/delay accounting is disabled. 2. Add new features use case in Documentation/accounting/delay-accounting.rst and git log. Best regards, Fan Yu
