NetBSD XXX 9.0 NetBSD 9.0 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Feb 14 00:06:28 UTC 2020  mkrepro%mkrepro.NetBSD.org@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
The current implementation of some memory related objects makes NetBSD look more memory efficient than it really is :D. Memory related objects such as membar or mem report too low numbers.

patches/patch-src_netbsd.c has a similar fix for info.memeasyfree:

+	/*
+	 * Counter-adjust for the adjustment in update_stuff in common.c so
+	 * that memeasyfree is the inactive memory.  Since inactive memory
+	 * partially overlaps with buffer memory, but the size of the
+	 * overlap is not measured, attempting to split it into non-bufmem
+	 * and bufmem parts, as common.c does, can't work.  So instead we
+	 * report inactive memory as memeasyfree.
+	 */
+	info.memeasyfree -= info.bufmem;

I propose to do the same for info.mem. Perhaps merge below patch into patches/patch-src_netbsd.c.
>How-To-Repeat:
in .conky, display any memory related objects such as membar or mem. They report too low numbers.
