[Bug 1568592] Re: bug of "memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes" and "memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes"

 

Previously, I am always thinking the following:

1) memory.usage_in_bytes = memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes + "Non-Kernel
Memory Data"

2) the data of "memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes" cannot be moved to swap

which indicates that memory.usage_in_bytes should be always >0 since
memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes should be always >0. Then how comes the
result of the last comment? Or is there anything wrong of my previous
understanding?
