Hi Johannes, Thank you very much for your reply, it does help us to understand the numbers we have at hand. Could you clarify your following statement further: > > Below is the sum of each field in /proc/$PID/statm for every process > > running inside a test container, converted to bytes: > > > > size resident share text lib data dt > > 897208320 28741632 20500480 1171456 0 170676224 0 > > statms accounts based on virtual memory, not physical memory like > memcg does.

You mean when those two tasks are in the same cgroup, don't you? Is there a case in which a page is shared by two tasks that are in different cgroups but that page is accounted only for one of the two cgroups? If so, how's this case triggered? -- [ ]'s Michel Machado -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
