I have some questions about memory usage:

If you type cat /proc/meminfo, you can see the following messages,

           total:          used:           free:         shared:
buffers:     cached:
Mem:  15015936 10260480   4755456  6352896  1523712  6025216
Swap: 98697216          4096 98693120
MemTotal:     14664 kB
MemFree:       4644 kB
MemShared:     6204 kB
Buffers:       1488 kB
Cached:        5884 kB
SwapTotal:    96384 kB
SwapFree:     96380 kB

Can anybody explain what EXACTLY are shared, buffers, and cached?
One can also get memory usage information of all processes by typing "ps
aux".
Are the numbers (in "RSS" collomn?) having any relationship with those
in /proc/meminfo ?

Thanks,

Jiu

Hello,

I can use "ps" to see memory usage of daemons and user programs.
I can't find any memory information of kernel with "top" and "ps".

Do you know how to take memory usage information of kernel ?
Thanks for your help.


Cheers,
Tom

Try cat /proc/slabinfo

Thanks.
cat /proc/slabinfo look like as follows.
Each row have three columns.
Could you tell me what do they mean in second and third column?
kmem_cache        29     42
pio_request            0      0

My second question is:
We can find memory usage of daemon(apache) by ps or top.
e.g. apache use 5400k physical memory 

Does the memory usage of /proc/slabinfo include some of 
5400k ? I guess 5400k can separate into two part
(kernel space part and user space part). 

Is any thing wrong? Thanks
Cheers,
Tom

Regarding this issue, I have a similar problem if I do a free on my system I 
get :
---   total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1157444    1148120       9324          0      22080     459504
-/+ buffers/cache:     666536     490908
Swap:       641016      19072     621944
---
Now what I do a ps there seems no way to accound for the 500mb + of memory 
used. No single or group of processes uses that amount of memory. THis is 
very disconcerting, coupled with extremely high loads when cache is dumped to 
disk locking up the machine makes me want to move back to 2.2.19 from 2.4.3.

I would also be curious to see how the kernel is using memory...

TIA

Hi all,

Which variable in /proc/meminfo (using 2.4.8 kernel)gives me the
correct memory usage at any point of time.
The problem is when I run my application, the "MemFree:" variable under
/proc/meminfo drops from around 25MB to 16MB. I kill the application
and "MemFree:" shows 17MB. How do I get the actual Memory being used ? ie
after I kill the application I should get "MemFree: = 25MB".

If I do the calculation which is being done in procedure -
nr_free_buffer_pages() (linux/mm/page_alloc.c) i.e adding the
zone->free_pages ,zone->inactive_clean_pages,
zone->inactive_dirty_pages, for all the zones, do I get the exact free RAM
available at any point of time(taking into consideration caching and all)
?

Thanks for any help or pointers.

Rgds,
Srikanta.

Hi all,

I`m currently developing applications for a linuxppc
embedded system (mpc8xx) with linux-2.4.4 from denx
and I realised that even with a tiny application I
spent something like 140k on my RAM area, where at
least 100k of that is for ld-2.2.3.so, I guess.
The question is, am I right? Is there a way to share
the code section of ld-2.2.3.so along applications? Is
there a way to get this memory size down?

Thanks in advance,

Owen.

OS: Linux Mandrake 9.0
Kernel: 2.4.20
Soltek SL-75DRV5
512MB DDR
Althon XP2100+

I'm noticing memory usage that I cannot trace back to a process - alot of it 
too. I use top and the "M" command to list programs by memory usage - but 
what I see with it (or using other system monitoring tools) are only a few 
processes and none that can explain the memory usage.

Even dropping down to runlevel 1 still displays RAM usage in excess of 300MB. 
Maybe I've still got alot to spare but I still want to fix this problem - 
currently running BlackBox under X (I use some KDE apps, but even after 
killing off all kdeinit processes the memory usage stays high).

So, what would be the cause of this mysterious memory usage?

Where are you "noticing" this memory usage? If it is in the "Mem:" line in 
top, probably all you are seeing is the kernel's use of RAM as cache and 
buffer. In slightly simplified form, when a process finishes running, or a 
file closes, the kernel leaves it in memory **if** it does not need that 
memorr for something else. (This way, it can run or open faster if called 
again.)

As a result, *any* Linux system will over time approach 100% memory usage 
as reported by this measure. If you want to check use of RAM by active 
processes, run "free" and look at the second line of its report.

If you are "noticing" this problem somewhere else, please post a followup 
that describes what you are seeing a bit more exactly.

Greetings,

How does NFS handle caching? more particularly is there a way to limit
the memory usage for caching?


Does it show up as kernel cache or is it displayed in the process list?

NFS server.

We have a box running as a NFS server and a mysql server. What were
running into is that we have a large amount of memory being sucked up
by cache and the box is swapping like crazy. It doesnt seem to be
release the cache back so im stumped. The only thing using memory is
mysql.

All we can think of is the NFS server is using kernel cache for
caching (a reach i know)

If it is indeed NFS is there a way to make it not do that :P I looked
in my o'reilly book, googled and posted to kernel dev (WIth my
asbestos jacket on and zipped up ;)

The machine is running 2.4.21 EL-SMP

Im completely stumped...

Thanks for looking at it :)

Go to red hat's bugzilla. Read up on slab values and how to adjust your
caching. This is what's going on.
Also:
http://people.redhat.com/nhorman/papers/papers.html
read the top paper. i think it will help your problem some.

Depending on how frequently your NFS client accesses its file data in cache,
swapping process pages may be the logical thing to do.  But if not, you can, in
the 2.4.21 RHEL kernels use the pagecache sysctl to help reduce pagecache usage more
quickly when under VM pressure.  Note that in 2.4.21, setting pagecache.max does
not place a cieling on how much memory is used for pagecache, it just sets
policy for where memory should be reclaimed from first when needed. Its all in
the paper that Seth Referenced.

Hope that helps

We've seen similar problems with 2.4 kernels, where the cache grows and =
starts swapping processes out causing atrocious performance. =20

We didn't find any solution on a 2.4 kernel (I'm not saying there isn't =
one - just that the various tuning parameters we tried didn't do it for =
us) and after considerable effort gave up and switched to a 2.6 kernel.  =

Edward.

Depending on how frequently your NFS client accesses its file data in =
cache,
swapping process pages may be the logical thing to do.  But if not, you =
can, in
the 2.4.21 RHEL kernels use the pagecache sysctl to help reduce =
pagecache usage more
quickly when under VM pressure.  Note that in 2.4.21, setting =
pagecache.max does
not place a cieling on how much memory is used for pagecache, it just =
sets
policy for where memory should be reclaimed from first when needed. Its =
all in
the paper that Seth Referenced.

Hope that helps
Neil
