I know that is somehat OT, but I was looking for trying to discover what

the module, but if I run strace lsmod I found that it takes a look to
coresize files at /sys and read
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-3.9.2/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-module
and it says "Module size in bytes" but if I see the filesize using ls
don't match

So what does really mean coresize?

Modules drop unused memory after initialization so their core resident size doesn't have to correspond to filesize.

So is it memory used by the module?
