441 | 5.2.2 memory.vmscan_stat | ||
442 | |||
443 | memory.vmscan_stat includes statistics information for memory scanning and | ||
444 | freeing, reclaiming. The statistics shows memory scanning information since | ||
445 | memory cgroup creation and can be reset to 0 by writing 0 as | ||
446 | |||
447 | #echo 0 > ../memory.vmscan_stat | ||
448 | |||
449 | This file contains following statistics. | ||
450 | |||
451 | [param]_[file_or_anon]_pages_by_[reason]_[under_heararchy] | ||
452 | [param]_elapsed_ns_by_[reason]_[under_hierarchy] | ||
453 | |||
454 | For example, | ||
455 | |||
456 | scanned_file_pages_by_limit indicates the number of scanned | ||
457 | file pages at vmscan. | ||
458 | |||
459 | Now, 3 parameters are supported | ||
460 | |||
461 | scanned - the number of pages scanned by vmscan | ||
462 | rotated - the number of pages activated at vmscan | ||
463 | freed - the number of pages freed by vmscan | ||
464 | |||
465 | If "rotated" is high against scanned/freed, the memcg seems busy. | ||
466 | |||
467 | Now, 2 reason are supported | ||
468 | |||
469 | limit - the memory cgroup's limit | ||
470 | system - global memory pressure + softlimit | ||
471 | (global memory pressure not under softlimit is not handled now) | ||
472 | |||
473 | When under_hierarchy is added in the tail, the number indicates the | ||
474 | total memcg scan of its children and itself. | ||
475 | |||
476 | elapsed_ns is a elapsed time in nanosecond. This may include sleep time | ||
477 | and not indicates CPU usage. So, please take this as just showing | ||
478 | latency. | ||
