The commit log of
0ae5e89c60c9 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.
This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
- the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)
for both of direct/soft reclaim.
The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as
# echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat
Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.
This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.
This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.
To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.

5.2 stat file
-memory.stat file includes following statistics
+5.2.1 memory.stat file includes following statistics
# per-memory cgroup local status
cache - # of bytes of page cache memory.
file_mapped is accounted only when the memory cgroup is owner of page
cache.)
+5.2.2 memory.vmscan_stat
+
+memory.vmscan_stat includes statistics information for memory scanning and
+freeing, reclaiming. The statistics shows memory scanning information since
+memory cgroup creation and can be reset to 0 by writing 0 as
+
+ #echo 0 > ../memory.vmscan_stat
+
+This file contains following statistics.
+
+[param]_[file_or_anon]_pages_by_[reason]_[under_heararchy]
+[param]_elapsed_ns_by_[reason]_[under_hierarchy]
+
+For example,
+
+ scanned_file_pages_by_limit indicates the number of scanned
+ file pages at vmscan.
+
+Now, 3 parameters are supported
+
+ scanned - the number of pages scanned by vmscan
+ rotated - the number of pages activated at vmscan
+ freed - the number of pages freed by vmscan
+
+If "rotated" is high against scanned/freed, the memcg seems busy.
+
+Now, 2 reason are supported
+
+ limit - the memory cgroup's limit
+ system - global memory pressure + softlimit
+ (global memory pressure not under softlimit is not handled now)
+
+When under_hierarchy is added in the tail, the number indicates the
+total memcg scan of its children and itself.
+
+elapsed_ns is a elapsed time in nanosecond. This may include sleep time
+and not indicates CPU usage. So, please take this as just showing
+latency.
+
+Here is an example.
