[PATCH] O(1) proc_pid_statm()
Merely removing down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) from task_vsize() is too half-assed to let stand. The following patch removes the vma iteration as well as the down_read(&mm->mmap_sem) from both task_mem() and task_statm() and callers for the CONFIG_MMU=y case in favor of accounting the various stats reported at the times of vma creation, destruction, and modification. Unlike the 2.4.x patches of the same name, this has no per-pte-modification overhead whatsoever. This patch quashes end user complaints of top(1) being slow as well as kernel hacker complaints of per-pte accounting overhead simultaneously.
