Why under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM? There's nothing about this in the cover letter.
Early on, gup_benchmark showed a really significant slowdown from using these counters. And I don't doubt that it's still the case.
I'll re-measure and add a short summary and a few numbers to the patch commit description, and to the v4 cover letter.
Looks like you'll show zeros for these counters if debug is off. It can be confusing to the user. I think these counters should go away if you don't count them.
OK, that's a good point. (And in fact, the counters==0 situation already led me astray briefly while debugging with Leon R, even. heh.) I'll remove them entirely for the !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM case.
thanks,
