下面是一个与@loolotux脚本输出相同的版本，但速度要快得多(但可读性较差)。 在我的机器上，这个循环大约需要10秒，我的版本需要0.019秒，这对我来说很重要，因为我想把它变成一个cgi页面。

    join -t / -1 3 -2 3 \
    <(grep VmSwap /proc/*/status  |egrep -v '/proc/self|thread-self' | sort -k3,3 --field-separator=/ ) \
    <(grep -H  '' --binary-files=text /proc/*/cmdline |tr '\0' ' '|cut -c 1-200|egrep -v '/proc/self|/thread-self'|sort -k3,3 --field-separator=/ ) \
    | cut -d/ -f1,4,7- \
    | sed 's/status//; s/cmdline//' \
    | sort -h -k3,3 --field-separator=:\
    | tee >(awk -F: '{s+=$3} END {printf "\nTotal Swap Usage = %.0f kB\n",s}') /dev/null

这是脚本的另一个变体，但意味着提供更可读的输出(你需要以根用户身份运行这个脚本才能得到准确的结果):

[ "$1" != "" ] && { SORT="$1"; }

SUM=0;
OVERALL=0;
    echo "${OVERALL}" > ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.overal;

for DIR in `find /proc/ -maxdepth 1 -type d -regex "^/proc/[0-9]+"`;
do
    PID=`echo $DIR | cut -d / -f 3`
    PROGNAME=`ps -p $PID -o comm --no-headers`

    for SWAP in `grep Swap $DIR/smaps 2>/dev/null| awk '{ print $2 }'`
    do
        let SUM=$SUM+$SWAP
    done

    if (( $SUM > 0 ));
    then
        echo -n ".";
        echo -e "${PID}\t${SUM}\t${PROGNAME}" >> ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.pid;
        echo -e "${SUM}\t${PID}\t${PROGNAME}" >> ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.kb;
        echo -e "${PROGNAME}\t${SUM}\t${PID}" >> ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.name;
    fi
    let OVERALL=$OVERALL+$SUM
    SUM=0
done
echo "${OVERALL}" > ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.overal;
echo;
echo "Overall swap used: ${OVERALL} kB";
echo "========================================";
case "${SORT}" in
    name )
        echo -e "name\tkB\tpid";
        echo "========================================";
        cat ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.name|sort -r;
        ;;

    kb )
        echo -e "kB\tpid\tname";
        echo "========================================";
        cat ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.kb|sort -rh;
        ;;

    pid | * )
        echo -e "pid\tkB\tname";
        echo "========================================";
        cat ${TMP}/${SCRIPT_NAME}.pid|sort -rh;
        ;;
esac
rm -fR "${TMP}/";

这是我的一句话:

cat /proc/*/status | grep -E 'VmSwap:|Name:' | grep VmSwap -B1 | cut -d':' -f2 | grep -v '\-\-' | grep -o -E '[a-zA-Z0-9]+.*$' | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs -n2 echo | sort -k2 -n

这一行的步骤是:

Get all the data in /proc/process/status for all processes Select the fields VmSwap and Name for each Remove the processes that don't have the VmSwap field Remove the names of the fields (VmSwap: and Name:) Remove lines with -- that were added by the previous step Remove the spaces at the start of the lines Remove the second part of each process name and " kB" after the swap usage number Take name and number (process name and swap usage) and put them in one line, one after the other Sort the lines by the swap usage

不完全清楚您的意思是要找到交换出最多页的进程还是导致交换出最多页的进程。

对于前者，您可以运行top并按swap排序(按'Op')，对于后者，您可以运行vmstat并查找'so'的非零条目。

我认为，您可以通过运行top并查找使用大量内存的活动进程来得到一个很好的猜测。通过编程实现这一点比较困难——只要看看关于Linux OOM杀手启发式的无休止的争论就知道了。

交换是一种活动使用的内存比安装的内存多的功能，因此通常很难将其归咎于单个进程。如果这是一个持续的问题，最好的解决方案是安装更多的内存，或进行其他系统更改。

使用smem

smem -s swap -r
