From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> The buffer cache shrinker frees more than just the xfs_buf slab objects - it also frees the pages attached to the buffers. Make sure the memory reclaim code accounts for this memory being freed correctly, similar to how the inode shrinker accounts for pages freed from the page cache due to mapping invalidation. We also need to make sure that the mm subsystem knows these are reclaimable objects. We provide the memory reclaim subsystem with a a shrinker to reclaim xfs_bufs, so we should really mark the slab that way. We also have a lot of xfs_bufs in a busy system, spread them around like we do inodes.
