Subject: [RFC] mm: direct mapping count in /proc/meminfo is error
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:17:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <564ED708.5090405@huawei.com> (raw)
I find the direct mapping count in /proc/meminfo is error.
The value should be equal to the size of init_memory_mapping which
showed in boot log.
I add some print to show direct_pages_count[] immediately after
init_memory_mapping(). The reason is that we double counting.
Here is the log(kernel v4.4):
...

[ 0.000000] DirectMap1G: 50331648 kB
euler-linux:~ # cat /proc/meminfo | grep DirectMap
DirectMap4k: 91712 kB
DirectMap2M: 4093952 kB
DirectMap1G: 48234496 kB
total DirectMap is 48234496 + 4093952 + 91712 = 52420160kb
50331648 + 2084864 + 3648 = 52420160kb
total init_memory_mapping is 50323008kb
52420160kb - 50323008kb = 2097152kb = 2G
However I haven't find a better way to fix it, any ideas?
Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
