Subject: [PATCH 3/3] accounting: task counters for disk/network
From: Gerlof Langeveld <gerlof@...omputing.nl>
This patch depends on patch 2/3 "accounting: task counters for disk/network".
Kernel configuration should allow the selection of the required
type of process accounting record (new type 6). The standard type
of process accounting record remains the default.
Furthermore per-task I/O accounting (i.e. the availability of the
file /proc/pid/io) is made independent of the export of these
statistics through netlink. The current structure of the ifdef's
allows this independency.
Modified file
init/Kconfig: When process accounting support is configured,
a choice can be made between type 2 (default),
type 3 (was already an existing alternative)
or type 6 (new alternative).
Task I/O accounting is no longer depending on
extended taskstats through netlink interface.
