You can get snapshot. +percpu_pagelist_high_fraction +============================= + +This is the fraction of pages in each zone that are can be stored to +per-cpu page lists. It is an upper boundary that is divided depending +on the number of online CPUs. The min value for this is 8 which means +that we do not allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be stored +on per-cpu page lists. This entry only changes the value of hot per-cpu +page lists. A user can specify a number like 100 to allocate 1/100th of +each zone between per-cpu lists. + +The batch value of each per-cpu page list remains the same regardless of +the value of the high fraction so allocation latencies are unaffected. + +The initial value is zero. Kernel uses this value to set the high pcp->high +mark based on the low watermark for the zone and the number of local +online CPUs. If the user writes '0' to this sysctl, it will revert to +this default behavior. + + stat_interval ============= |
