From 55f841ce9395a72c6285fbcc4c403c0c786e1c74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 10:17:53 +1000 Subject: super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try to shrink. It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total < 100). This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in very low kernel memory situations.
