Actually that just goes into the buffer/page caches and will be
released again once someone tries to allocate the memory back using
the appropriate kmalloc() flags, ie. anything but GFP_ATOMIC.
Mario> What group is more relevant to these types of questions.
Possibly linux-kernel, however I doubt you will find much support for
limiting the buffer/page caches.
