When a task is exiting, usually kernel marks its flags as 'PF_EXITING',
but even so, sometimes the mm_struct has not been freed, it might still
be valid. For such tasks, the "ps/vm" commands won't display the memory
usage. For example:
crash> ps 47070
PID PPID CPU TASK ST %MEM VSZ RSS COMM
47070 1 0 ffff9ba7c4910000 UN 0.0 0 0 ra_ris.parse
crash> vm 47070
PID: 47070 TASK: ffff9ba7c4910000 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "ra_ris.parse"
MM PGD RSS TOTAL_VM
0 0 0k 0k
To be honest, this is a corner case, but it has already occurred in
actual production environments. Given that, let's allow the "ps/vm"
commands to try to display the memory usage for this case, but it does
not guarantee that it can work well at any time, which still depends on
how far the mm_struct deconstruction has proceeded.
With the patch:
crash> ps 47070
PID PPID CPU TASK ST %MEM VSZ RSS COMM
47070 1 0 ffff9ba7c4910000 UN 90.8 38461228 31426444 ra_ris.parse
crash> vm 47070
PID: 47070 TASK: ffff9ba7c4910000 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "ra_ris.parse"
MM PGD RSS TOTAL_VM
ffff9bad6e873840 ffff9baee0544000 31426444k 38461228k
VMA START END FLAGS FILE
ffff9bafdbe1d6c8 400000 8c5000 8000875 /data1/rishome/ra_cu_cn_412/sbin/ra_ris.parse
