Hi, In Solaris, kmem_cache_create accepts a 'reclaim' callback, to be called under memory pressure; as far as I can see, Linux's allocator doesn't appear to have similar functionality. I'd imagine this functionality would be useful for subsystems that hold caches or other resources that can be dropped safely under pressure. Is there any reason why Linux doesn't have this callback? Would this be something reasonable for a newbie to work on adding?
