Subject: How long can an inode structure reside in the inode_cache?
Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 20:10:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ae3c140606091710k7a320f2ex6390d0e01da4de9b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I was wondering how Linux decide to free an inode from the
inode_cache? If a file is open, an inode structure will be created and
put into the inode_cache, but when will this inode be free and removed
from the inode_cache? after this file is closed? If so, this seems to
be inefficient.

Can someone tell me how Linux handle this issue?

Thanks,
Xin
