He had 3 million dentries and only 100k pages on the LRU, so we should have been reclaiming 60 dentries per scanned page. Conceivably the multiply in shrink_slab() overflowed, where we calculate local variable `delta'. But doubtful.
What if there were no pages left to scan for shrink_caches ? Could it be possible that for some strange reason the machine ended up scanning 0 slab objects ? 60 * 0 is still 0, after all ;) Rik -- A: No. Q: Should I include quotations after my reply? http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
