Description of problem: top shows wrong values for the SWAP field of runnings processes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): procps-3.2.7-27 How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: run top, press 'f', press 'p' (show SWAP column). Actual results: senseless SWAP values for running processes. Expected results: real SWAP values or disable SWAP column altogether as it makes no sense. Additional info: consult with http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14532 for more details.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is definitely `top` bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14532#c5 I have notified procps maintainer however I'm not sure if he fixes this bug in the nearest future, as procps development has stalled ostensibly.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Bump!
Created attachment 498494 [details] top swap values with no swap With SWAP disabled, it looks even funnier.
Hello There is one test patch for procps support swap field, created by Mr. Kosaki. Can you test following patch and evaluate with kernel 2.6.34 or better? https://github.com/kosaki/procps/commit/8a3d0d4e117efeec869d3d450f749a61cb8b0237
Similar patch for readproc was added by upstream a year ago [1]. Fedora 15 has already this version of readproc but the top interface wasn't updated. I have done some little tests and output seems to be ok, so I am going to release update for F15 next week. [1] https://gitorious.org/procps/procps/commit/5f570a84f186ca5924be0722ba0956d5fef0b04a
Thanks for the investigation. I will check the procps update on F15. In the mean time, I would expect to see this modification on RHEL6.2, because this feature is very useful for enterprise users. if you ask me to open another BZ for RHEL6, let me know.
procps-3.2.8-21.20110302git.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/procps-3.2.8-21.20110302git.fc15
Download the beta RPM from koji and tested on my F15(64bit) box (limited the memory size to 1GB and run multiple guest OSes.) The beta RPM works as expected.
