buffermem counter tweaks in proc
PATCH 1/1 buffermem counter tweaks in proc
Hello everyone,
A few people have seen free report bogus numbers for the number of used buffers in the output of free.
Andrea pointed out this was probably because we now increment both buffermem_pages and page_cache_size when getblk triggers a page allocation.
This patch tweaks /proc/meminfo to deal take that into account:
