Ed Tomlinson and Craig Kulesa? That was Ed. Because we cannot reclaim slab pages direct from the LRU it turned out that putting slab pages onto the LRU was merely an extremely complicated way of making the VFS cache scanning rate porportional to the pagecache scanning rate. So we ended up doing just that, without putting the slab pages on the LRU. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
