Not exactly same with this but idea is almost same.
I used almost same tracepoint to investigate agging(i.e., deactivating) problem
in 32b kernel with node-lru.
It was enough. Namely, I didn't need tracepoint in shrink_active_list like your
first patch.
Your first patch is more straightforwad and information. But as you introduced
this patch, I want to ask in here.
Isn't it enough with this patch without your first one to find a such problem?

Thanks.
