Search the last few days for a post beginning "[TAKE3] [PATCH]"... Note there is a bug in the accounting which appears to be able to cause the count of reserved memory to go negative under some circumstances. I triggered it by starting 4 copies of the Blackdown Java 1.2.2 VM, then closing them. With the patch enabled, two extra fields appear in /proc/meminfo for monitoring. Note also that I'm not sbscribed on the linux-mm list (perhaps I should be), so please CC me. -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: chromi@cyberspace.org (not for attachments) big-mail: chromatix@penguinpowered.com uni-mail: j.d.morton@lancaster.ac.uk The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it.
