add Slab memory to cached #263
Conversation

I'm assuming you're still subscribed to this pull request - why was it closed? It does partly fix a serious problem with htop-reported memory usage, although it needs to use SReclaimable rather than Slab due to the latter's SUnreclaim part. |

My pull request was a quick fix after a small amount of research for a problem I've noticed on my system. After submitting the request I've took a closer look at past submissions for htop, and others have submitted pull request for complete solutions. Therefore I've removed mine, since it wouldn't make sense to merge it instead of other solutions. |

Oh wow, its been sat there for a year?? Sorry I did a search and hit on your pull, thought I got lucky but it seems this problem has been ignored for some time... thanks for responding. |
reclaimable slab as cached memory. Hopefully this presents a more truthful representation of available vs. used memory on Linux. See brndnmtthws/conky#82, #242, #67, #263.
I use Fedora 22, kernel 4.1.6.
On my system free and htop report drastically different application memory usage. It comes down to how cached memory is calculated. Free adds Cached and Slab entries from memoryinfo, while htop only reads Cached.
I've prepared a simple fix.
