308 | What: Wireless extensions over netlink (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK) | ||

310 | Why: The option/code is | ||
311 | * not enabled on most kernels | ||
312 | * not required by any userspace tools (except an experimental one, | ||
313 | and even there only for some parts, others use ioctl) | ||
314 | * pointless since wext is no longer evolving and the ioctl | ||

2016 | Description | ||
2017 | ----------- | ||
2018 | |||
2019 | rchar | ||
2020 | ----- | ||
2021 | |||
2022 | I/O counter: chars read | ||
2023 | The number of bytes which this task has caused to be read from storage. This | ||
2024 | is simply the sum of bytes which this process passed to read() and pread(). | ||
2025 | It includes things like tty IO and it is unaffected by whether or not actual | ||
2026 | physical disk IO was required (the read might have been satisfied from | ||
2027 | pagecache) | ||
2028 | |||
2029 | |||
2030 | wchar | ||
2031 | ----- | ||
2032 | |||
2033 | I/O counter: chars written | ||
2034 | The number of bytes which this task has caused, or shall cause to be written | ||
2035 | to disk. Similar caveats apply here as with rchar. | ||
2036 | |||
2037 | |||
2038 | syscr | ||
2039 | ----- | ||
2040 | |||
2041 | I/O counter: read syscalls | ||
2042 | Attempt to count the number of read I/O operations, i.e. syscalls like read() | ||
2043 | and pread(). | ||
2044 | |||
2045 | |||
2046 | syscw | ||
2047 | ----- | ||
2048 | |||
2049 | I/O counter: write syscalls | ||
2050 | Attempt to count the number of write I/O operations, i.e. syscalls like | ||
2051 | write() and pwrite(). | ||
2052 | |||
2053 | |||
2054 | read_bytes | ||
2055 | ---------- | ||
2056 | |||
2057 | I/O counter: bytes read | ||
2058 | Attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to | ||
2059 | be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is | ||
2060 | accurate for block-backed filesystems. <please add status regarding NFS and | ||
2061 | CIFS at a later time> | ||
2062 | |||
2063 | |||
2064 | write_bytes | ||
2065 | ----------- | ||
2066 | |||
2067 | I/O counter: bytes written | ||
2068 | Attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to | ||
2069 | the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. | ||
2070 | |||
2071 | |||
2072 | cancelled_write_bytes | ||
2073 | --------------------- | ||
2074 | |||
2075 | The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and | ||
2076 | then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have | ||
2077 | been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. | ||
2078 | In other words: The number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, | ||
2079 | by truncating pagecache. A task can cause "negative" IO too. If this task | ||
2080 | truncates some dirty pagecache, some IO which another task has been accounted | ||
2081 | for (in it's write_bytes) will not be happening. We _could_ just subtract that | ||
2082 | from the truncating task's write_bytes, but there is information loss in doing | ||
2083 | that. | ||
2084 | |||
2085 | |||
2086 | Note | ||
2087 | ---- | ||
2088 | |||
2089 | At its current implementation state, this is a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if | ||
2090 | process A reads process B's /proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of | ||
2091 | those 64-bit counters, process A could see an intermediate result. | ||
2092 | |||
2093 | |||
2094 | More information about this can be found within the taskstats documentation in | ||
2095 | Documentation/accounting. | ||
