Hi
Go though the vmscan.c file under mm directory. clear & clean documentation would not be there on net. u will have to browse code. function to start with would be shrink_all_memory(). There will be different functions written to reclaim pages from different objects like dentry_cache, slab, inactive,active list. if u make callgraphs while browsing then code is easy to understand.
Thanks,
Mahaveer
