Hi Shakeel, I malloc and memset 10M, then sleep. It seems that the problem is still exist, the kernel version is v4.1 [root@localhost c_test]# cat /proc/13746/statm 3603 2767 250 1 0 2609 0 [root@localhost c_test]# cat /proc/13746/smaps | grep Rss Rss: 4 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 10244 kB Rss: 924 kB Rss: 0 kB Rss: 16 kB Rss: 8 kB Rss: 12 kB Rss: 132 kB Rss: 12 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 8 kB Rss: 0 kB Rss: 4 kB Rss: 0 kB
