Why? Traditionally sysinfo.sharedram was not used for shmem. It was totally strange semantics and completely outdated feature. So, we may reuse it for another purpose. But I'm not sure its benefit. Why don't you use /proc/meminfo? I'm afraid userland programs get a confusion. > > Signed-off-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/base/node.c | 2 +- > fs/proc/meminfo.c | 2 +- > mm/page_alloc.c | 3 ++- > 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/base/node.c b/drivers/base/node.c index 8f7ed99..c6d3ae0 100644 > --- a/drivers/base/node.c > +++ b/drivers/base/node.c > @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ static ssize_t node_read_meminfo(struct device *dev, > nid, K(node_page_state(nid, NR_FILE_PAGES)), > nid, K(node_page_state(nid, NR_FILE_MAPPED)), > nid, K(node_page_state(nid, NR_ANON_PAGES)), > - nid, K(node_page_state(nid, NR_SHMEM)), > + nid, K(i.sharedram), > nid, node_page_state(nid, NR_KERNEL_STACK) * > THREAD_SIZE / 1024, > nid, K(node_page_state(nid, NR_PAGETABLE)), diff --git a/fs/proc/meminfo.c b/fs/proc/meminfo.c index > 7445af0..aa1eee0 100644 > --- a/fs/proc/meminfo.c > +++ b/fs/proc/meminfo.c > @@ -168,7 +168,7 @@ static int meminfo_proc_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v) > K(global_page_state(NR_WRITEBACK)), > K(global_page_state(NR_ANON_PAGES)), > K(global_page_state(NR_FILE_MAPPED)), > - K(global_page_state(NR_SHMEM)), > + K(i.sharedram), > K(global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE) + > global_page_state(NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE)), > K(global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE)), > diff --git a/mm/page_alloc.c b/mm/page_alloc.c index 20d17f8..f72ea38 100644 > --- a/mm/page_alloc.c > +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c > @@ -3040,7 +3040,7 @@ static inline void show_node(struct zone *zone) void si_meminfo(struct sysinfo *val) { > val->totalram = totalram_pages; > - val->sharedram = 0; > + val->sharedram = global_page_state(NR_SHMEM); > val->freeram = global_page_state(NR_FREE_PAGES); > val->bufferram = nr_blockdev_pages(); > val->totalhigh = totalhigh_pages; > @@ -3060,6 +3060,7 @@ void si_meminfo_node(struct sysinfo *val, int nid) > for (zone_type = 0; zone_type < MAX_NR_ZONES; zone_type++) > managed_pages += pgdat->node_zones[zone_type].managed_pages; > val->totalram = managed_pages; > + val->sharedram = node_page_state(nid, NR_SHMEM); > val->freeram = node_page_state(nid, NR_FREE_PAGES); #ifdef CONFIG_HIGHMEM > val->totalhigh = pgdat->node_zones[ZONE_HIGHMEM].managed_pages; > -- > 1.9.3 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
