Subject: [PATCH v1 7/8] Make drop_caches flush pending dput()s and iput()s
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:30:12 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090117023012.20425.49587.stgit@crlf.corp.google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090117022936.20425.43248.stgit@crlf.corp.google.com>
When doing echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, we wish to free up as much inode
and dentry slab as possible. This path is updated to flush any pending iputs
and dputs once the shrinkers are called.
