Subject: Strange memory usage reporting
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 14:18:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yw1xad9w1uj5.fsf@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
I was a little surprised to see top tell me this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
10642 mru 11 0 23200 81m 2740 S 0.0 37.0 0:00.07 tcvp
It didn't make sense that RES > VIRT, so I check /proc/pid/*. Their
contents are below. Am I missing something? Note that they are not
consistent with the 'top' line above, since they were copied at a
different time. The effect is easily reproducible. It happens every
time I run my music player with using ALSA.
The memory usage summary by top, also doesn't agree:
Mem: 224140k total, 219236k used, 4904k free, 7184k buffers
Swap: 524280k total, 224k used, 524056k free, 125976k cached
Subtracting the cached memory and some heavy processes doesn't leave
room for another 80 MB.
/proc/pid/stat:
