HELP needed : Mali and UMP drivers : Rss and Pss pages always 0

[Pintu Agarwal <pintu_agarwal@yahoo.com>]

Dear All,

This is regarding the Mali and UMP drivers for kernel 2.6.36.

The Rss and Pss pages for Mali and ump drivers are always zero.
When I do : 
#cat /proc/1936/smaps | grep -A 11 /dev/ump
43698000-43810000 rw-s 0000e000 00:11 6751       /dev/ump
Size:                   1504 kB
Rss:                       0 kB
Pss:                       0 kB
Shared_Clean:        0 kB
Shared_Dirty:          0 kB
Private_Clean:         0 kB
Private_Dirty:           0 kB
Referenced:              0 kB
Swap:                      0 kB
KernelPageSize:       4 kB
MMUPageSize:         4 kB
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rss and Pss pages are always 0KB.

Any help on this will be great.
Anyone who knows about Rss and Pss pages can provide some pointers to debug further.


Thanks, Regards,
Pintu
