From 78eb00cc574d3dbf8e6bed804948a89e8110a064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:20:22 -0700 Subject: slub: allow stats to be cleared When collecting slub stats for particular workloads, it's necessary to collect each statistic for all caches before the job is even started because the counters are usually greater than zero just from boot and initialization. This allows a statistic to be cleared on each cpu by writing '0' to its sysfs file. This creates a baseline for statistics of interest before the workload is started. Setting a statistic to a particular value is not supported, so all values written to these files other than '0' returns -EINVAL.
