[PATCH 4/7] mm: Centralize & improve oom reporting in show_mem.c
From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 18:25:46 EST
This patch:
- Changes show_mem() to always report on slab usage
- Instead of reporting on all slabs, we only report on top 10 slabs,
and in sorted order
- Also reports on shrinkers, with the new shrinkers_to_text().
Shrinkers need to be included in OOM/allocation failure reporting
because they're responsible for memory reclaim - if a shrinker isn't
giving up its memory, we need to know which one and why.
More OOM reporting can be moved to show_mem.c and improved, this patch
is only a start.
New example output on OOM/memory allocation failure:
