From 979df72e6f963b42ee484f2eca049c3344da0ba7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 11:28:19 -0400 Subject: NFS: Add an ACCESS cache memory shrinker A pinned inode may in theory end up filling memory with cached ACCESS calls. This patch ensures that the VM may shrink away the cache in these particular cases. The shrinker works by iterating through the list of inodes on the global nfs_access_lru_list, and removing the least recently used access cache entry until it is done (or until the entire cache is empty).
