Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load.
Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory. The statistics, how long
memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage.
This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for
accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages().
<i.e>
- When System is under low memory load,
memory reclaim may not occur.
$ free

In this case, one process uses more 8G memory
by execution of malloc() and memset().
$ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat

RECLAIM count delay total

In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.
So, taskstats can show how much memory reclaim influences TAT.
