Where can I find descriptions of the caches controlled in /proc/slabinfo? Some are obvious to me, most are not. Specifically, I'd like to identify which cache(s) are used to cache my database file data, but also just for future reference on all of them. The cache names I'm referring to are the first column below... TIA. $ cat /proc/slabinfo slabinfo - version: 1.1 (SMP) kmem_cache 80 80 244 5 5 1 : 252 126 ip_fib_hash 11 336 32 3 3 1 : 252 126 journal_head 778 1001 48 13 13 1 : 252 126 revoke_table 2 250 12 1 1 1 : 252 126 revoke_record 444 448 32 4 4 1 : 252 126 clip_arp_cache 0 0 128 0 0 1 : 252 126 ip_mrt_cache 0 0 128 0 0 1 : 252 126 tcp_tw_bucket 1140 1140 128 38 38 1 : 252 126 tcp_bind_bucket 1049 1232 32 11 11 1 : 252 126 tcp_open_request 240 240 128 8 8 1 : 252 126 inet_peer_cache 4 58 64 1 1 1 : 252 126 ip_dst_cache 525 525 256 35 35 1 : 252 126 arp_cache 12 60 128 2 2 1 : 252 126 blkdev_requests 3072 3090 128 103 103 1 : 252 126 dnotify_cache 0 0 20 0 0 1 : 252 126 file_lock_cache 2 40 96 1 1 1 : 252 126 fasync_cache 0 0 16 0 0 1 : 252 126 uid_cache 19 224 32 2 2 1 : 252 126 skbuff_head_cache 943 1110 256 74 74 1 : 252 126 sock 277 315 1280 104 105 1 : 60 30 sigqueue 203 203 132 7 7 1 : 252 126 kiobuf 0 0 64 0 0 1 : 252 126 cdev_cache 31 696 64 12 12 1 : 252 126 bdev_cache 4 116 64 2 2 1 : 252 126 mnt_cache 15 174 64 3 3 1 : 252 126 inode_cache 19021 39585 512 5655 5655 1 : 124 62 dentry_cache 18130 55170 128 1839 1839 1 : 252 126 dquot 0 0 128 0 0 1 : 252 126 filp 12191 12240 128 408 408 1 : 252 126 names_cache 21 21 4096 21 21 1 : 60 30 buffer_head 1264828 1267350 128 42245 42245 1 : 252 126 mm_struct 585 585 256 39 39 1 : 252 126 vm_area_struct 7391 9030 128 301 301 1 : 252 126 fs_cache 643 754 64 13 13 1 : 252 126 files_cache 406 406 512 58 58 1 : 124 62 signal_act 321 341 1408 31 31 4 : 60 30 pae_pgd 641 754 64 13 13 1 : 252 126 size-131072(DMA) 0 0 131072 0 0 32 : 0 0 size-131072 0 0 131072 0 0 32 : 0 0 size-65536(DMA) 0 0 65536 0 0 16 : 0 0 ... -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
