Description:
|
||||
The shrink file is written when memory should be reclaimed from
|
||||
a cache. Empty partial slabs are freed and the partial list is
|
||||
sorted so the slabs with the fewest available objects are used
|
||||
first.
|
||||
The shrink file is used to reclaim unused slab cache
|
||||
memory from a cache. Empty per-cpu or partial slabs
|
||||
are freed and the partial list is sorted so the slabs
|
||||
with the fewest available objects are used first.
|
||||
It only accepts a value of "1" on write for shrinking
|
||||
the cache. Other input values are considered invalid.
|
||||
Shrinking slab caches might be expensive and can
|
||||
adversely impact other running applications. So it
|
||||
should be used with care.
