From 695f055936938c674473ea071ca7359a863551e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Cermak Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:01:00 -0800 Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu.c: add user-space support for resetting mm->hiwater_rss (peak RSS) Peak resident size of a process can be reset back to the process's current rss value by writing "5" to /proc/pid/clear_refs. The driving use-case for this would be getting the peak RSS value, which can be retrieved from the VmHWM field in /proc/pid/status, per benchmark iteration or test scenario.
