From 1e689acb39104d6657897edc23ac4530219e3b3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Han Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:50:35 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix pgpgin/pgpgout documentation The two memcg stats pgpgin/pgpgout have different meaning than the ones in vmstat, which indicates that we picked a bad naming for them. It might be late to change the stat name, but better documentation is always helpful.
