    mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace event · d51d1e64
    Steven Rostedt authored
    The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12
    parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure.  This
    structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c.  By moving it to the global
    vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints.
    In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments
    to the trace event.  In the future, we may limit the number of arguments
    that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it
    may be 8).
    
    Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this:
