    [PATCH] vm: add per-zone writeout counter · e129b5c2

    The VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the
    LRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates).  But
    we don't actually have a clear way of showing how true this is.
    
    So add `nr_vmscan_write' to /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo - the number of
    pages which have been written by the vm scanner in this zone and globally.
