39 Only accesses to user memory pages are tracked. These are pages mapped to a
40 process address space, page cache and buffer pages, swap cache pages. For other
41 page types (e.g. SLAB pages) an attempt to mark a page idle is silently ignored,
42 and hence such pages are never reported idle.
44 For huge pages the idle flag is set only on the head page, so one has to read
45 ``/proc/kpageflags`` in order to correctly count idle huge pages.
