Hello,
This might be related to the change in fs-writeback.c that fixed redirtying inodes on NFS, but I'm not sure. It seems that the Slab cache never shrinks. Could this be a memory leak? It definitely affects system performance. Here are the numbers after running for about 12 hours with heavy NFS traffic (this is the client).
What's the best way to see who is allocating Slab memory?
/proc/meminfo MemTotal: 517044 kB MemFree: 116876 kB Buffers: 1176 kB Cached: 18908 kB SwapCached: 3428 kB Active: 17840 kB Inactive: 8448 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 517044 kB LowFree: 116876 kB SwapTotal: 506036 kB SwapFree: 497804 kB Dirty: 940 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 9012 kB Slab: 367588 kB Committed_AS: 19856 kB PageTables: 548 kB VmallocTotal: 516020 kB VmallocUsed: 8748 kB VmallocChunk: 506908 kB
