[PATCH 0/4] pagecache scanning with /proc/kpagecache

From: Naoya Horiguchi
Date: Tue May 20 2014 - 22:28:37 EST


This patchset adds a new procfs interface to extrace information about
pagecache status. In-kernel tool tools/vm/page-types.c has already some
code for pagecache scanning without kernel's help, but it's not free
from measurement-disturbance, so here I'm suggesting another approach.

Patch 1/4 changes radix tree API to support ranged iteration as a preparation
for patch 2/4 which adds /proc/kpagecache. Patch 3/4 changes page-types to
use the interface in file scanning mode. Patch 4/4 is documentation update.

This patchset were previously posted as a part of memory error reporting
patchset (http://lwn.net/Articles/590690/), so changelogs in individual
patches are changes from that version.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
