Hi all, I have a issue regarding memory .
I ran a program on my board that continuously do malloc and write some data at that memory location and put this code in while loop. it ran for some time untill it consume the whole of the memory and then given a OOM. where we get information about the memory consumed and free memory. But when i adds up the userspace memory and kernel memory which gives total used memory and I know the total free memory available(cat /proc/meminfo)...But I get the free memory available much lesse than the expected value. I am confused where is the rest of memory . I adds user space memory=active anon+ inactive anon+ active file + inactive file and kernel memory usage is =slab reclaimable and slab unreclaimable + kernel stack+page tables this give the total memory used. But when I subtract this total used memory from the total available memory , a large chunk should be free, but practically after getting OOM I am leaving with a small memory ANY IDEA, who consumed the rest of the memory.
