[RFC] [PATCH] tapsets to provide memory related information

[RFC] [PATCH] tapsets to provide memory related information

[Srinivasa Ds]

Hi 
  I have developed some memory related tapsets. These tapsets
   display tasks maximum virtual size, current virtual size,
   hiwater_rss,hiwater_vm,anon_rss.

I have encountered some challenges here. Could someone please
comment on these.

 	1) I have not incremented mm_users count while reading
 data from struct_mm. This is because we may sleep while decrementing
 it(mmput() sleeps). Does rcu_read_lock() helps here?
	
	2) I have to use atomic_long_read() to read atomic variables 
 like _anon_rss,_file_rss. Is there any kread() equivalent to read atomic
 variables.
 
 Iam attaching the patch here. Iam planning to format the data cleanly. Please
 let me know your comments.
