That would seem to be a great shortcoming in fscache.
I guess as memory reclaim reaps the top-level dentries those file*'s will also be freed up, leading to their dentries becoming reclaimable, leading to their inodes being reclaimable.
But still. Is it not possible to release those files-pinned-by-dcache when the top-level files are closed? - 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/
