Hi, When the file /proc/slabinfo does get updated? I started new process and I was thinking mm_struct active objects should be increased but it stays constant. Program: Hello.c int main(){ printf("Welcome to SI-LUNX\n"); sleep(100); return 0; } Output Before staring process: #cat /proc/slabinfo | grep mm_struct mm_struct 52 64 512 8 1 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 8 8 0 # ps -fu root | wc 70 615 4645 Started process in another shell (shell was already open) /home/manoj/hello Output after Starting process # cat /proc/slabinfo | grep mm_struct mm_struct 52 64 512 8 1 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 8 8 0 # ps -fu root | wc 71 623 4711 Is it possible that parent(shell) and child (hello) using same mm_struct ? I also tried running /home/manoj/hello&, but the result is same. Is there something that I need to enable in my config file? Or there is a possible bug with update on /proc/slabinfo? Note: /sys/kernel/slab/mm_struct/objects also shows same result.
