Not sure about Private_Dirty, I rather use Pss. – Hrvoje Špoljar Mar 25 '16 at 10:19

Does Pss include shared pages? – Radoslav Stefanov Mar 25 '16 at 14:45

Indeed it does include proportional part of shared memory -- for more info check http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/33381/getting-information-about-a-process-memory-usage-from-proc-pid-smaps – Hrvoje Špoljar Mar 28 '16 at 11:46

So it seems Private_Dirty is what I need for now. Thanks @HrvojeŠpoljar – Radoslav Stefanov Mar 29 '16 at 11:16
