Subject: severely bloated slabs
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2002 10:23:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020730172341.GD29537@holomorphy.com> (raw)

12 hours after running dbench, tiobench, and a couple of others:

132MB of ZONE_NORMAL on a 16GB i386 box tied up in buffer_head slabs
when all of 3% of it is in use gives me the willies. Periodic slab
pruning anyone? Might be useful in addition to slab-in-lru.


Cheers,
Bill
