My _preferred_ approach would actually be to move the slab pages to the LRU list too, and have a special "slab" address space (we don't need to actually hash them, we just make page->mapping point to it), and have the cache shrink be done naturally as part of writepage().
This is a cool idea.
So when a SLAB block gets allocated from, we "reference" the underlying page?
