And when increase reclaiming page in try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages, it can reduce calling of shrink_slab, which save times, in my cases, page caches occupy most memory, slab is little, but shrink_slab will be called everytime Mutex_lock 1 us try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages do_try_to_free_pages ! 185.020 us shrink_node ! 116.529 us shrink_node_memcg 39.203 shrink_inactive_list 33.960 shrink_slab 72.955 shrink_node 61.502 us shrink_node_memcg 3.955 shrink_slab 54.296 us -RongQing > -RongQing > > -- > > Michal Hocko > > SUSE Labs ��.n��������+%������w��{.n������.����n�r������&��z�ޗ�zf���h���~����������_��+v���)ߣ�
