The patch titled Subject: mm: vmalloc: show number of vmalloc pages in /proc/meminfo has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-show-number-of-vmalloc-pages-in-proc-meminfo.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-show-number-of-vmalloc-pages-in-proc-meminfo.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-show-number-of-vmalloc-pages-in-proc-meminfo.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Roman Gushchin <guroan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: vmalloc: show number of vmalloc pages in /proc/meminfo Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks, bpf and percpu allocator are new top users), and the total % of memory consumed by vmalloc() can be pretty significant and changes dynamically. /proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information: its top goal is to show top consumers of the memory. Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use for quite a long time (it has been defined to 0 by the commit a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the actual physical memory consumption of vmalloc().
