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?
The RSS reported by ps is in kilobytes, right ? The kernel counts in pages, which are larger. -- What is important?
