Subject: [PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (3/5)
Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 14:10:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020521141003.C15796@infradead.org> (raw)
This one is a bit more controveral as it may break stupid userlevel
programs: remove the 'Buffers' field from /proc/meminfo and make
the Cached field show the full pagecache size instead of subtracting
the block-device backed pages.
All /proc/meminfo-using programs I have (free, top) still work fine.
