From 199220052af977598033d3810ffb4cc32d377522 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 15:14:57 +0100 Subject: lib: Report file cache as available system memory sysinfo() doesn't include all reclaimable memory. In particular it excludes the majority of global_node_page_state(NR_FILE_PAGES), reclaimable pages that are a copy of on-disk files It seems the only way to obtain this counter is by parsing /proc/meminfo. For comparison, check vm_enough_memory() which includes NR_FILE_PAGES as available (sadly there's no way to call vm_enough_memory() directly either!) v2: Pay attention to what one writes. v3: Trim off redundant space, and warn if the requested tags do not match the layout of /proc/meminfo.
