Thanks! Are there any plans to track it separately in a future kernel release? I've also noticed that if huge pages are used for the shared memory, they are not accounted for as cached - I have a 56GB huge page pool but cached is only 6GB. Is this behavior specific to huge pages? Finally, are these quirks documented anywhere?
