SubjectStrange memory usage reporting
From
Date

I was a little surprised to see top tell me this:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
10642 mru 11 0 23200 81m 2740 S 0.0 37.0 0:00.07 tcvp

It didn't make sense that RES > VIRT, so I check /proc/pid/*. Their
contents are below. Am I missing something? Note that they are not
consistent with the 'top' line above, since they were copied at a
different time. The effect is easily reproducible. It happens every
time I run my music player with using ALSA.

The memory usage summary by top, also doesn't agree:

Mem: 224140k total, 219236k used, 4904k free, 7184k buffers
Swap: 524280k total, 224k used, 524056k free, 125976k cached

Subtracting the cached memory and some heavy processes doesn't leave
room for another 80 MB.

/proc/pid/stat:
10642 (tcvp) S 926 10642 926 34816 10642 0 68 0 2556 0 4 3 0 0 11 0 0 0 1162589 25665536 18902 4294967295 134512640 134523016 3221216832 3221215328 1074519393 0 0 0 2 3222307553 0 0 17 0 0 0
