Subject: Memory usage per memory zone
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 11:41:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e2dc2c680903110341g6c9644b8j87ce3b364807e37f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have a box where the oom-killer is killing processes due to running
out of memory in zone_normal. I can see using slabtop that the inode
caches are using up lots of memory and guess this is the problem, so
have cleared them using an echo to drop_caches.

I would quite like to not guess though - is it possible to use slabtop
(or any other way) to view ram usage per zone so I can pick out the
culprit?

(I am not subscribed to the list, please cc any replies to me.)

Thanks a lot.

p.s. the kernel traffic link on http://www.tux.org/lkml/ is now a spam site
