Subject: why doesn't /proc/self/maps mtime change when memory's allocated?
Here's a ruby script that when run on 2.6.25 demonstrates that although
the contents of /proc/self/maps changes, its mtime doesn't.
--- start ruby script ---
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
mapfile = "/proc/self/maps"
oldmtime = File.stat(mapfile).mtime
oldmaps = File.read(mapfile)
arr = Array.new()
for k in 1...10*1024*1024
arr.push(k)
end
newmaps = File.read(mapfile)
newmtime = File.stat(mapfile).mtime
if (oldmaps != newmaps)
if (oldmtime == newmtime)
puts("oldmaps mtime = #{oldmtime}")
puts(oldmaps)
puts("newmaps mtime = #{newmtime}")
puts(newmaps)
end
end
--- end ruby script ---
When I run it, I get this output (the lines with the word [heap] against
them are different (along with others)):
# ./checkmaps.rb
oldmaps mtime = Thu Jul 17 15:32:53 +0100 2008
