Also sprach mukesh agrawal: } } I'm having trouble with the getrusage syscall. It returns 0 for the memory } usage fields. Looking through the mailing list archives, there's a patch } that's supposed to solve the problem. } } http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9603.1/0217.html } } Is there a technical reason why the patch wasn't incorporated in the } kernel, or did it just fall through the cracks? } } Please CC me on replies, as I am not subscribed to the list. } I've known about this for a long time and wanted to apply a patch to the kernel resolving this. The comment on the system call for getrusage indicates that, after the current task structure gets kalloc'ed, we could move more of the statistics into the task structure.
There is no one answer as to why some patches get approved while others don't.
