I bet this is NOT zero. it only hidden.
I guess this system's memory usage is,
pagetables: 60k pages
kernel stack: 60k pages
anon (hidden): 60k pages
slab: 40k pages
other: 30k pages
===================
total: 250k pages = 1GB
What is "hidden" anon pages?
each shrink_{in}active_list isolate 32 pages from lru. it mean anon or file lru
accounting decrease temporary.
if system have plenty thread or process, heavy memory pressure makes
#-of-thread x 32pages isolation.
msgctl11 makes >10K processes.
I have debugging patch for this case.
Wu, Can you please try this patch?
if my guess is correct, we need to implement #-of-reclaim-process throttling
mechanism.
============================================
If the system have plenty thread, concurrent reclaim can isolate very much pages.
Unfortunately, current /proc/meminfo and OOM log can't show it.
