Description Konrad Borowski 2023-03-08 16:18:59 UTC 
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html says the following:

              VmallocUsed %lu
                     Amount of vmalloc area which is used.  Since Linux
                     4.4, this field is no longer calculated, and is
                     hard coded as 0.  See /proc/vmallocinfo.

However, this was changed in 5.3 in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/97105f0ab7b877a8ece2005e214894e93793950c.
