A long standing issue with RAM usage reporting

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Hello everyone,

I'd love to bring kernel developers' attention to this long standing issue:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201675

It would be great if something was done about it because otherwise htop,
top and free and numerous other utilities in Linux have to implement
hacks and workarounds to properly report free/used RAM.

https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/issues/556

https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/issues/196

There's also another related issue:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201673 but it will be
automatically solved once the initial bug report has been dealt with.

Best regards,
Artem
