Hello, This question is relevent to 2.6.20.
I noticed that if the RSS for the stack size is say, 8MB, running a single-threaded process doesn't incur an increase of 8MB to Committed_AS (/proc/meminfo). However, on multi-threaded apps linked with pthread (on Debian Etch with 2.6.20 vanilla x86_64), every thread will incur the the specified maximum stack size RSS (assuming that you use the default attr). In other words, it appears that vm accounting works differently in that case. Is this the intended behaviour? -- Dan Aloni XIV LTD, http://www.xivstorage.com da-x (at) monatomic.org, dan (at) xiv.co.il - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
