=head1 NAME

buddyinfo - Plugin to monitor memory fragmentation on Linux systems.

=head1 APPLICABLE SYSTEMS

Linux 2.6

=head1 CONFIGURATION

None needed.

=head1 INTERPRETATION

Linux manages virtual memory on a page granularity. There are some operations

however that require physically contiguous pages to be allocated by the kernel.

Such allocations may fail if the memory gets fragmented and even though there

are enough pages free, but they are not contiguous.

This plugin monitors the amount of contiguous areas, called higher order pages.

The order means the exponent of two of the size of the area, so order 2 means

2^2 = 4 pages.

=head1 SEE ALSO

See C<Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> in the Linux source tree for the

description of the buddyinfo file.
