Add per-pool statistics counters for the allocation path of a page pool. These stats are incremented in softirq context, so no locking or per-cpu variables are needed. This code is disabled by default and a kernel config option is provided for users who wish to enable them. The statistics added are: - fast: successful fast path allocations - slow: slow path order-0 allocations - slow_high_order: slow path high order allocations - empty: ptr ring is empty, so a slow path allocation was forced. - refill: an allocation which triggered a refill of the cache - waive: pages obtained from the ptr ring that cannot be added to the cache due to a NUMA mismatch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
