From 9b0975a20af1ff2f367e3b6b7c150eb114c6b500 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keika Kobayashi Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:48:54 -0700 Subject: per-task-delay-accounting: update document and getdelays.c for memory reclaim Update document and make getdelays.c show delay accounting for memory reclaim. For making a distinction between "swapping in pages" and "memory reclaim" in getdelays.c, MEM is changed to SWAP.
