From b1d29ba82cf2bc784f4c963ddd6a2cf29e229b33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 15:06:08 -0700 Subject: delayacct: track delays from thrashing cache pages Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This isn't tracked right now. To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task, measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to read back into memory.
