Bug#628462: linux-2.6: reports impossible swap statistics for a process

Source: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-26
Severity: normal

I'm not sure if the bug is in top or in linux. top reports that galeon
(my web browser) uses 195GB of swap; that's far more swap than I have,
so not possible.

The only out of the ordinary thing I remember doing is hibernating and
resuming several times.

I attach just about every info from /proc/${PID}/ which I thought
might be useful.

Debian Release: squeeze/sid
APT prefers stable-updates
APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=fr_LU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_LU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash

The attachment seems to be missing. Anyway, reassigning to top; once
this is rephrased as "such-and-such item under /proc should say X, but
it says Y", please feel free to assign it back to the kernel again.

Thanks, and happy hacking.
Jonathan
