/proc/pid/smaps: fix dirty pages accounting
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, /proc/<pid>/smaps has wrong dirty pages accounting.
Shared_Dirty and Private_Dirty output only pte dirty pages and ignore
PG_dirty page flag.  It is difference against documentation, but also
inconsistent against Referenced field.  (Referenced checks both pte and
page flags)

This patch fixes it.

Test program:

 large-array.c
 ---------------------------------------------------
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <unistd.h>

 char array[1*1024*1024*1024L];

 int main(void)
 {
         memset(array, 1, sizeof(array));
         pause();

         return 0;
 }
 ---------------------------------------------------

Test case:
 1. run ./large-array
 2. cat /proc/`pidof large-array`/smaps
 3. swapoff -a
 4. cat /proc/`pidof large-array`/smaps again

Test result:
