[pve-devel] [PATCH ksm-control-daemon] ksmtuned: fix large number processing

[Roland]

oh, and shouldn't we also add that to total and free_memory calculation,
even chances are less that the limit is hit there ?

total=`awk '/^MemTotal:/ {print $2}' /proc/meminfo`

free_memory () {
     awk '/^(MemFree|Buffers|Cached):/ {free += $2}; END {print free}' \
                 /proc/meminfo
}
