    [PATCH] resurrect /proc/meminfo:Buffers · fca174cc
    Andrew Morton authored
    The /proc/meminfo:Buffers statistic is quite useful - it tells us
    how effective we are being at caching filesystem metadata.
    
    For example, increases in this figure are a measure of success of the
    slablru and buffer_head-limitation patches.
    
    The patch resurrects buffermem accounting.  The metric is calculated
    on-demand, via a walk of the blockdev hashtable.
