TMM has a tmctl statistic table called pagemem which shows two elements: available pages and used pages. These provide the totals across all TMM threads, and while accurate, they do not show fragmentation.
This can lead to situations where TMM might try and allocate a large number of contiguous pages, which will fail, even though the pagemem avail stat shows the total pages being available.
This occurs when looking at the pagemen statistics.
None. This is a cosmetic issue.
The pagemem tmctl table has been replaced with a new table called page_stats which provides much more detailed information about physical page clustering. The original 'avail' and 'used' statistics are still there, although they are reported on a per-thread basis. Additional statistic buckets for page diagnostics are introduced.
