[PATCH v6 04/11] VFS hot tracking: Add shrinker functionality to curtail memory usage

Zhi Yong Wu
2013-11-06T13:49:14Z

From: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Register a shrinker to control the amount of memory that
is used in tracking hot regions. If we are throwing inodes
out of memory due to memory pressure, we most definitely are
going to need to reduce the amount of memory the tracking
code is using, even if it means losing useful information.
