Description:
|
|
The /sys/kernel/slab directory contains a snapshot of the
|
|
internal state of the SLUB allocator for each cache. Certain
|
|
files may be modified to change the behavior of the cache (and
|
|
any cache it aliases, if any).

Description:

|
The shrink file is used to reclaim unused slab cache
|
|
memory from a cache. Empty per-cpu or partial slabs

are freed and the partial list is sorted so the slabs

with the fewest available objects are used first.

It only accepts a value of "1" on write for shrinking

|
the cache. Other input values are considered invalid.
|
|
Shrinking slab caches might be expensive and can
|
|
adversely impact other running applications. So it
|

should be used with care.
