[PATCH v2] mm: show proportional swap share of the mapping

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Mon Jun 15 2015 - 09:06:43 EST


We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management
on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory efficiency
so workingset includes swap as well as RSS.

On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's
really hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes
memory(ie, rss + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous
memory(e.g, android).

This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get
more exact workingset size per process.

Bongkyu tested it. Result is below.

1. 50M used swap
SwapTotal: 461976 kB
SwapFree: 411192 kB

$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';
48236
$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';
141184

2. 240M used swap
SwapTotal: 461976 kB
SwapFree: 216808 kB

$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "SwapPss:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';
230315
$ adb shell cat /proc/*/smaps | grep "Swap:" | awk '{sum += $2} END {print sum}';

+The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has
+in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing it.
+So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one other
+process, its PSS will be 1500.
+Note that even a page which is part of a MAP_SHARED mapping, but has only
+a single pte mapped, i.e. is currently used by only one process, is accounted

+"Referenced" indicates the amount of memory currently marked as referenced or
+accessed.
"Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file. Even
a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE
and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
"Swap" shows how much would-be-anonymous memory is also used, but out on
swap.

+"SwapPss" shows proportional swap share of this mapping.
"VmFlags" field deserves a separate description. This member represents the kernel
flags associated with the particular virtual memory area in two letter encoded
manner. The codes are the following:
