The patch titled Subject: memcg: get rid of once-per-second cache shrinking for dead memcgs has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memcg-slb-shrink-dead-caches-get-rid-of-once-per-second-cache-shrinking-for-dead-memcgs.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into memcg-slb-shrink-dead-caches.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg: get rid of once-per-second cache shrinking for dead memcgs The idea is to synchronously do it, leaving it up to the shrinking facilities in vmscan.c and/or others. Not actively retrying shrinking may leave the caches alive for more time, but it will remove the ugly wakeups. One would argue that if the caches have free objects but are not being shrunk, it is because we don't need that memory yet.
