When I fire command vmstat -s on my Linux box, I got stats as:

vmstat -s
16305800  total memory
16217112  used memory
9117400  active memory
6689116  inactive memory
88688  free memory
151280  buffer memory

I have skipped some details that is shown with this command.

I understand these terms: Active memory is memory that is being used by a particular process. Inactive memory is memory that was allocated to a process that is no longer running.

Just want to know, is there any way I can get the processes, with which inactive memory is allocated? Because top or vmstat command still shows the used memory as sum of active and inactive memory and I can see only processes that are using active memory but what processes are using inactive memory is still a question for me.
