Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/util.c: make vm_memory_committed() more accurate
Date: Fri,  8 May 2020 15:25:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1588922717-63697-3-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1588922717-63697-1-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com>

percpu_counter_sum_positive() will provide more accurate info.

Its time cost is about 800 nanoseconds on a 2C/4T platform and
2~3 microseconds on a 2S/36C/72T server in normal case, and in
worst case where vm_committed_as's spinlock is under severe
contention, it costs 30~40 microseconds for the 2S/36C/72T sever,
which should be fine for its two users: /proc/meminfo and HV ballon
driver's status trace per second.
