Change in Memory Management from linux-3.8 to 3.9 ?

[fly_a320]

Hello all,

when using grsecurity-2.9.1-3.9.4-201305251009.patch with linux-3.9 on x86 I noticed heavy swapping when building large Packages. My Box has 4G of ram, so I called vmstat and this showed only about 1G of available Memory.

Switching back to grsecurity-2.9.1-3.8.10-201304292056.patch, the correct 4G of memory are available. Both linux-configs are identical (make oldconfig). Has there been a change in Memory management from linux-3.8 to 3.9 in the grsec code? With unpatched kernels I do get the whole 4G of RAM.

Thanks for hints,

thorsten

would be nice to have more info:
1. kernel configs
2. content of /proc/vmstat and /proc/meminfo from 3.8 and 3.9 (both vanilla and grsec)

Thanks for the reply!

I am out of town presently, I will send the stuff as soon as I am back,

Hello again, here the output of meminfo, vmstat and cat config | grep MEM of
3.8.10
3.8.10-grsec
3.9.2
3.9.2-grsec --- only here I do get only 1G of MemTotal, all other show 4G. I hope I did not mess up the
configuration of this kernel, but I did not find a relevant mistake.

Thanks for looking into this issue
