From c4ae7908a7447b2338cdf7df0408c80a83f517c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lawrence Stewart Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2010 04:14:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] - Simplify implementation of uma_zone_get_max. - Add uma_zone_get_cur which returns the current approximate occupancy of a zone. This is useful for providing stats via sysctl amongst other things.
