Subject: [2.29 COMMITTED] malloc: Fix missing accounting of top chunk in malloc_info [BZ #24026]
Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191118180309.GB73440@aloka.lostca.se> (raw)

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=unknown-8bit, Size: 1550 bytes --]

Fixes `<total type="rest" size="..."> incorrectly showing as 0 most
of the time.

The rest value being wrong is significant because to compute the
actual amount of memory handed out via malloc, the user must subtract
it from <system type="current" size="...">. That result being wrong
makes investigating memory fragmentation issues like
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843478> close to
impossible.

(cherry picked from commit b6d2c4475d5abc05dd009575b90556bdd3c78ad0)
