Hi everybody, I want to write a tool that can extract information from the kernel about the VM situation. Conceptually, I want something that looks like this: # cacheinfo /var/mysql/data/powerdns/records.MYD 75% of blocks in memory 12% dirty # cacheinfo -d -v /var/mysql/data/powerdns/records.MYD 0 M 1 M 2 - 3 - 4 D .... Before writing this, I'm wondering how the kernel people feel that this sort of information should be exported to userland. There are lots of options, but not being a kernel architect/philosopher, I don't have a clue. My goal is to have a patch included in the main kernel, so it is very important that I write stuff people will agree on. Please let me know what you think.
