From 662ce1dc9caf493c309200edbe38d186f1ea20d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yang Yang Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2022 15:55:25 -0700 Subject: delayacct: track delays from write-protect copy Delay accounting does not track the delay of write-protect copy. When tasks trigger many write-protect copys(include COW and unsharing of anonymous pages[1]), it may spend a amount of time waiting for them. To get the delay of tasks in write-protect copy, could help users to evaluate the impact of using KSM or fork() or GUP.
