Recently i noticed an (in my eyes) unexplainable memory loss, I

cat /proc/meminfo revealed something called anonpages, which seemed to
be around a 100 MiB large.

I have no idea what they are, searching the mailinglist archives or
using a conventional search engine didn't yield anything usefull.

Can anyone enlighten a curious user?


Hmm, wouldn't that be "anonymous pages"?  See http://lwn.net/Articles/77106/
