The patch titled
Subject: mm/util.c: make vm_memory_committed() more accurate
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-utilc-make-vm_memory_committed-more-accurate.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>
Subject: mm/util.c: make vm_memory_committed() more accurate
percpu_counter_sum_positive() will provide more accurate info.
As with percpu_counter_read_positive(), in worst case the deviation could
be 'batch * nr_cpus', which is totalram_pages/256 for now, and will be
more when the batch gets enlarged.
Its time cost is about 800 nanoseconds on a 2C/4T platform and 2~3
microseconds on a 2S/36C/72T Skylake 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 Skylake sever, which should be fine
for its only two users: /proc/meminfo and HyperV balloon driver's status
trace per second.
