From 77461ab33229d48614402decfb1b2eaa6d446861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 02:35:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make vm statistics update interval configurable Make it configurable. Code in mm makes the vm statistics intervals independent from the cache reaper use that opportunity to make it configurable.
