Hi, I'm developing kernel modules for educational purposes, and I was trying to find out the amount of memory used by a process. When you go ps -aux it shows for example that a certain process is using 1.7% of memory and has an RSS of 16000, however when I go to the concerned task_struct and printk the rss from mm, I get a value which is in hundreds, compared to thousands? For finding out the memory three items in the mm_struct look interesting to me: RSS, Total_VM and vm_lock, will adding them together give me the memory used by a process? regards Irfan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
