Hi,
are there any other memory pools increasing while "MemFree" is decreasing?
cat /proc/meminfo
If it's kmalloc() - related, I'd expect "Slab" to be increasing.. [1]
Moreover, if it's left to be running for quite some time, does it
actually causes an "out-of-memory" problem in the end? [2]
I have run "while true ; do cat /proc/interrupts; done" for some time
and "MemFree" is going down but what's going up is "Buffers" +
"Cached" (mainly, the first one) and not
"Slab".
cat /proc/interrupts returns file content which is different every
time and might be cached (likely - "Buffers").. Actually, do you
observe similar behaviour when reading any other /proc file (or even
any regular) ?
After all, Linux memory manager is quite dynamic in its behaviour, and
"MemFree" does not really answer a question "how much memory is free"
as there are some _reclaimable_ sources of memory ("buffers" and
"cached")..
So what's about [1]? Of course, if you can encounter [2] after some time..
