    mm/cma: add sysfs file 'release_pages_success' · b9ad003a
    Anshuman Khandual authored
    This adds the following new sysfs file tracking the number of successfully
    released pages from a given CMA heap area.  This file will be available
    via CONFIG_CMA_SYSFS and help in determining active CMA pages available on
    the CMA heap area.  This adds a new 'nr_pages_released' (CONFIG_CMA_SYSFS)
    into 'struct cma' which gets updated during cma_release().
    
    /sys/kernel/mm/cma/<cma-heap-area>/release_pages_success
    
    After this change, an user will be able to find active CMA pages available
    in a given CMA heap area via the following method.
    
    Active pages = alloc_pages_success - release_pages_success
    
    That's valuable information for both software designers, and system admins
    as it allows them to tune the number of CMA pages available in the system.
    This increases user visibility for allocated CMA area and its
    utilization.
