(current usage) Basic kernel memory used: physical memory in system - MemTotal (from /proc/meminfo) Add to that the Slab and PageTables memory use from /proc/meminfo and you have the total memory use by the kernel. > What is the maximum limit for that? > How can we change that limit? There is no set limit, so nothing to change. Are you running into any memory leaks maybe? -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Brian W. Kernighan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
