This file's functionality is to tell the system to do a cache reclaiming, the possible value to write to it is only 1, 2 or 3, reading from it will get the last value written to it, that's meaingless.
Signed-off-by: Denis Cheng <crquan@gmail.com> --- Reference to 7e3e0360, which also changed some sysctl value from 0644 to 0200.
