Re: severely bloated slabs

From: Martin J. Bligh <hidden>

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.
As long as we give this up under memory pressure, why does this
matter?
