Hi,
I kept my kernel running with few applications for 5 days , doing
nothing more than backing up few kb of data on disk and refresh few X apps.
Ater five days the global memory available go down from 24Mb to 8Mb ...
The are some signifiant changes in slabinfo but now, I do not know where
to search ?
active_jobs :
proc_inode_cache : 150 -> 299
radix_tree_node : 807 -> 870
dentry: 4092 ->4249
buffer_head: 1138 -> 4824
pid_1: 64 -> 76
size-64 : 885 -> 944
memory BEFORE AFTER :
MemFree: 24324 kB.................8692Kb
Buffers: 3956 kB...............18740Kb
Cached: 34080 kB................34452Kb
Active: 131176 kB................147592Kb
Inactive: 26708 kB..................25440Kb
Slab: 4692 kB........4952kB
SReclaimable: 1480 kB ............. 1744kb
SUnreclaim: 3212 kB...............3208kb
in the ps tree only Xorg SHR memory growed from 5592 to 5612
